As I put the finishing touches on the upcoming /books club curriculum, some thoughts on why this particular topic is so important to me. I grew up in a small rural town in upstate New York. The internet was my escape & introduction to a world of ideas beyond my backyard. More than anyone I knew, I was a sponge for information online. When I graduated college, I found myself in a prestigious but unfulfilling job. Like most standard career paths, it had very clearly defined milestones and a surplus of people fighting for them. I could predict how every year of my life would go until retirement. So I returned to the internet. And there I found an alternative to the safe-but-dull reality of my day job. This new world was confusing and a little bit obscure. But it appealed to my values and sense of agency. I've spent a decade reading and distilling the best ideas into this curriculum. This class is my opportunity to share the very best of that world with you. I hope you find it as inspiring as I do.

I'm intrigued to learn more about this. Also, I'm curious what you studied and what your first career was. I'm going through a career change or hunt for a more fulfilling life, so I like to hear about other people's search for the same thing.

We sure must find it inspiring. Do you regard farcaster as one of the means on internet at which you escaped the sad reality of life and found joy and a welcoming atmosphere?

I DO find it as inspiring Your not act of not giving up has to be studied and is really inspiring. I’ve been feeling lazy and slacking cus I’ve not been getting the responses I’d hope for and this just reminded me to get up and get to work. Love it for you 🤍
