My friend writes this very good substack, Ancient Influence, that deconstructs ancient (mostly Greek and Roman) texts & speeches to pick out techniques we can apply in modern life. Give him a free sub so he writes more! https://ancientinfluence.substack.com/

” Community ties are the single biggest predictor of retention. And in the subscription game (really, in the microtransaction game too, though the effect is more complicated), retention = money. Therefore, community ties = money." https://www.raphkoster.com/2011/02/01/designing-for-community/

Excellent read, nominally about conservatism, but more interesting to me for its general discussion around conservation, human flourishing, tradition and technology. https://www.compactmag.com/article/why-conservatism-failed/

“There are numerous pitfalls to be avoid e.g. antagonising or not building a community, not listening to a community, not acting as a benevolent dictator for that community or failing to put its interests over your own, failing to steer a clear direction, failing to invest and worst of all establishing a collective prisoner dilemma.” https://warpcast.com/androidsixteen.eth/0x9899e9dd

if you are so gullible to believe in conspiracies, maybe it's time to change that mindset before you are 30. https://quillette.com/2018/11/22/my-misspent-years-of-conspiracism/

1️⃣ How did humans manage to form civilizations while other creatures, including chimpanzees, could not? Let's examine one of the fundamental bases for this. Michael Tomasello, in his article "Collaboration Encourages Equal Sharing in Children but Not in Chimpanzees," investigates this. In this study, he used two-year-old and three-year-old children. Two children were placed on either side of a device, each facing a compartment where a treat would eventually appear. The experiment was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the children did not have to make any effort. In the second stage, to access the treat, the two children had to pull a rope in front of them in coordination to get the treat. Here, the crucial point emerged: the treats were placed unequally for each child. The important question is, do they voluntarily share the treats equally? ⚠️The rest is in the comments⚠️ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21775985/#

https://www.techemails.com/p/mark-zuckerberg-peter-thiel-millennials "there is a certain sense in which Mark Zuckerberg has been cast as *the spokesman* for the Millennial generation" "if we are going to tilt in a Boomer direction, it should always be a matter of conscious choice." Wow, they try to predict the conditions of 2030 and plan accordingly. They see many of the institutions moving from benefiting boomers to Millennials

The danger of thinking that you and you alone are responsible for adapting positively to crisis — and today that means crises after crisis after crisis — is that you will almost certainly fail to meet your own expectations. No one is resilient alone, at all times, and in all situations. Resilience is a dynamic process and it is healthier and more accurate to say that we take turns being resilient for one another. https://substack.com/home/post/p-145952714
