Incredibly helpful, thank you!

I made https://others.com as an attempt to make a space for meaningful connection and conversation on the internet. Turns out the hard part is getting enough people in there!

Ah man this is a great execution of something I’ve been trying to get right in a side project for a while now. This whole idea of building valuable social connections and conversations out of the massive floating borg cloud of the current internet is what I aimed for with https://otherrs.com but this just feels like a much better way to achieve that same goal :)

I love how he was able to identify a problem of huge scale that truly mattered to him and was able to make a massive impact in solving that problem. Very inspiring. It feels very rare that all of those things line up (identifying a core problem, having the ability to solve it, and the time in which to do so), but this article gives me hope to keep striving for it

That #10.5 point really resonates with me. Especially now with all of this isolation, it’s become very apparent that almost all communication on the internet is the screaming from inside the car type instead of the real human connection type.

Loneliness! We have really lost our sense of community with those around us so I’m trying to see if we could supplement that with strangers on the internet.

That idea of a Nash equilibrium is very interesting. I wonder if there really are multiple Nash equilibriums for many systems. At least in the prisoner example the article talked about it seemed more like there is a single optimal N.E. and it only changed once the circumstances/system changed
