The primary export of my mission statement:
Build community infrastructure using my creative & technical skillsets.
You've heard of Dunbar's number, right? It's 150, and it's the number of social links you can maintain in your head (Dunbar said so). This has a wide array of important consequences β for example, any attempt to befriend every 1st-gen PokΓ©mon is mathematically doomed β but not all hope is lost! First, simply acknowledge the limitations of your monkey brain. Next, use said brain to think about ways you can operate within those limitations while still pursuing a fulfilling social life. Finally, gradually adapt your behavior to align with those principles. That's it! Three easy steps and you're well on your way to living a Dunbar-approved life.
It's true: you're free to do anything you want. Spend your time as you see fit; wear what you want to wear; participate in whatever communities feel like home to you. If what you're doing doesn't make you happy, try doing something else!
