Thank you for referencing past posts. I missed "You should be a God-Emperor" and your note that it was popular nudged me enough to read it. And then relating as space concept clicked. And I shared a bunch of screenshots with a friend. And then the end on moral dilemma for happiness was relevant to a past conversation, so I shared it with another friend. We love self-induced network effects.

“Math is hard, let’s go shopping!” was a minor catchphrase in my PhD office too (around 2010) and I always thought it was some contemporary Barbie controversy and I'd just missed it due to living under a rock. Now I know!

Damn

Looks like some work require an inevitable amount of spaciousness in one's schedule as well.

Reminds me of Warren Buffett's empty calendar (For those interested, google "Warren Buffett empty calendar")

Honoring your heart's call to a September devoted to *Metarat*. May more four-hours-of-uninterruption befall you than you know what to do with!

Question: I don't see anywhere a link to the eG "Forum" wherein links to register for your monthly Q&A are located. I'm a member, and can't see links anywhere in Discord, or on the evolvingground.com website.

PS - Is there a link to the entire Q&A from two weeks ago? I wasn't able to make it, and the couple of highlights make me want to watch the thing in total. Thank you!

Thank you for your benediction!

The "forum" is the Discord. In the left sidebar, the first item at the top, with a calendar icon, is Events. If you click it, it pops up a scrollable list, and you can scroll down to the Q&A.

You should have gotten a monthly email with a list of events, as well. (If not, let Jared know—sometimes members don't make it onto the email list for some reason.) The Q&A is on there, and it has a link to the recording of the last one.

If any of this isn't working, let Jared know (or if you don't know how to contact him, I'll put you in touch).
