@BhandariSayujya @naval Aldous Huxley theorized the brain evolved to filter superfluous stimuli, optimizing one’s headspace for survival. If he’s right, meditation probably operates on the same “reducing valve” that he argues for psychedelics.

Thought I was imagining it; turns out the sunlight is just different from what I was used to back east. Lower humidity & fewer atmospheric pollutants → minimal light scattering → bluer skies & radiant golden light → crisp surface textures, vibrant colors HD city

Qualities I’ve found most predictive of compatibility with me: 1. Default happy 2. Can find beauty in the ordinary 3. Appetite for heterodoxy 4. Comfortable being outwardly degenerate 5. Some degree of reverence for the universe & the laws that govern it

I initially wondered if splitting my time between cities would result in spiritual detachment from all of them, in feeling "homeless" The opposite turned out to be true — my sense of home just expanded to meet me where I was.

greater density of intellectually-aligned, ambitious, creative people → more serendipitous interaction between them → more experiments attempted → more good things for the community & world broadly as some fraction of experiments succeed

Given the milestone, it’s worth describing why DirectorySF exists. In one sentence: incredible things emerge from dense clusters of optimistic, curious, ambitious people — things that simply wouldn’t emerge in isolation.

SF's uptick in civic engagement feels like constructive interference between waves of city-focused enthusiasm bouncing freely, no longer dampened by the uninvested (remote work was their exit) People are here because of its culture, not in spite of it. SF has never felt more SF

@zhayitong @officespacejk @cmclymer I’ve found success at my last few buildings by just setting up a social group myself. Takes surprisingly few hangouts to get the ball rolling and reach a self-sustaining state. I think people are generally eager to meet each other, but need someone else to initiate.
