    1/ This is mostly inspired by my committee asking me, "so what do you want to do next?" at the end of my pre-defense.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1107992822337208321 …

    Hello everyone, What is the best example you can think of for someone overcoming their "I can build this myself!" delusion then building a team that did something really incredible?

        2/ There are two general problems I want to work on, and I have to choose one. Working on Simon's "Designing [systems] for an Information Rich World" matches all my prior work really well, and it certainly feels like a worthwhile issue!

        3/ But, doing research at or through facebook/twitter feels limiting. Now, to be clear, their research divisions do incredible work. I follow people on here in those positions who I greatly admire. But, I can't help but feel as if their energies are filtered by other interests.

        4/ Alternatively, there are organizations like @echoinggreen or @knightfdn that position your interests more directly aligned with the problem you want to solve. They're the most attractive to me, I think -- a way to get a snowball rolling.

        5/ But, then I start thinking about the sheer capital accessible to @ycombinator-associated startups with demonstrated potential, and that makes me think: you need them to stake out an effective claim. And that comes with it's own motivational filters, too.

        6/ Meanwhile, I think people in the #dweb / #Indieweb space are nibbling around the edges in a way that could slowly change the entire ecology of the problem. Which, to me *is* the type of emergent collective action that represents the best bet...

        7/ ...except, a lot of that space tends to be dominated by certain ideologies that I think work against what they want to accomplish, or at least against what I want to accomplish.

        8/ So basically, I'm at the point where I want examples of other people who, 1. Learned to tell their ego to STFU; 2. Forged or joined a cause; and, 3. Produced real change.
