Much of the value of a specific network is sentimental. It is valued for its own sake not what it can do in economic terms.

You're either engaging in specious strawmanning of "Networking / Connector" types, trolling me, or you have a seriously complicated worldview / terminology here that I utterly do not understand.

I think you just haven't experienced enough of the ugly side of networking and have an idealized view of it. Almost all of it is toxic. The tiny amount of good is a side effect of a) putting work out there b) making *very* rare and serious win-win collaboration overtures

Sure. I want to do just the good part + build tools for other people to also do that. Medium is a good start but is not actually a long-term option -- fat protocols all the way.

Most important metric for dating is simple geographically-weighted-distance equation of where you’ve lived and for how long. I want to meet girls who lived in KC for 18 years, Nebraska for 4, San Francisco for 5 (or similar patterns in parallel geographies)

Implement this as a world map w/ photos tied to where you’ve lived, travelled, etc (most successful dating app is actually Facebook, and Facebook’s killer feature was photos). In fact, don’t even call it a “dating” app.

That's more an arranged marriage formula than a dating formula

You're totally right, actually -- the "dating" market / Tinder is a foreign country filled with strange aliens I don't understand even the slightest bit.
