Some of your days are going to be low and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. A low day is a day off. Instead of pushing relentlessly and failing miserably, take a break. Read a book, watch a movie, eat a good meal. It's OK. It's a long play. We'll still be here tmrw. #buildinpublic

It's amazing what it feels like when people understand your idea. I told my massage therapist about what I was working on. Small town small business owner in Ohio, not tech-adjacent. She got it immediately. I've had issues explaining to ML phds in the past, so this is a huge win.

Hello Bluesky! Time to re-introduce myself. I'm Leo, and I study the economics of information. Right now, I'm focusing in on memetic economics - the idea that value is determined as a function of the rate of spread of information. More:

To all of my old friends now joining this app, welcome. It's great to see you all here. I joined a long time ago, but never really made it stick, because the people I wanted to talk to were all still on Twitter. But now, I see different energy over here. And @finereli.com said it's good now.

Weird request, but that's what I'm good at. I'm looking for volunteers to tell me some of the things they like to do, and then I'll feed that list into an AI and tell you what you value. Trying to see how accurate this is. Thanks in advance!
