community building
  • make people around you better
  • way to get people to open up is to open up yourself (people wear trench coats, to set the norm of leaving them at the door, you do it)
  • how to get people to showup: focus on the experience of the people that came
    • impact bias and prediction limitation
  • the second links to the first and i didnt even realize it (connections!!)
  • "impact bias": overestimate sadness and happiness that will come from individual events (they fade away over time very quickly)
  • studies have shown that we are chilling (normalized) even after crazy bad things (or good things)
  • due to our limitatons in imagination and understanding, framing a certain event in some way can make us more happy
  • actual happiness is achieved with small things that you do everyday like being present, being thankful, and spending time with people you like - http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2012/08/here-are-the-things-that-are-proven-to-make-y/
    • growth institutions very push sometimes
    "cool/interesting" people
  • describing cool people
  • things that cool people exhibit
    • dont make objective "cool/interesting" distinction
  • objectively interesting is unhealthy
    • can build and maintain etc
  • you dont have to be a founder
