"We" is amazing. Have read it several times because there is so much to the text. Nothing is accidental, even down to the numbers he picks for the characters (many are related through mathematical formulas). I love gifting copies.

OP here - I actually agree with this sentiment to some extent . There's a thin line between "here's a shortcut to all the things you might learn about me over time anyway" and "I think my preferences are more important than yours."

Ultimately the exercise was helpful for me because of what I learned about myself and not because of what others could learn about me.

Probably just because Chrome is cached, good sign that it worked incognito. Feel free to reach out if you see more issues. Thanks for bringing up!

Aw, thanks! Definitely appreciate the input. Feel free to reach out if there are other topics you'd like to see, contact info in my bio on the website.

Still thinking pretty loosely about the trust space, but a few conclusions on my end: LinkedIn is frustrating because people connect even though they don't know each other very well. I spend a lot of time meeting up with strangers (Craigslist, meetups, dating) and generally hoping that the world is good (though it pretty much always turns out to be). Phone number seems to be something that people only exchange when they have a fairly meaningful interaction - could that be used as a way to show you know someone/vouch for them? I feel like there's something in that space that would resonate with a lot of people.
