Humans are a social species, but not *only* a social species. To optimize for friends is to become a sheep-logic degen and descend into hell-is-other-people slowly imagining you're being soulful and large-hearted in your approach to life.

Hmm interesting. I was being more exploratory with this tweet than ideological. I think youre imagining a stance I’m not sure I have. I agree with most of Ben’s piece there already.

it prob depends on personality. if you’re naturally very ‘other-oriented’ this approach will steer you into a people pleasing hell. but if you find yourself really lonely, a little optimizing for connection might add meaningfully to your quality of life.
