San Francisco, 2030

- Wake up
- Walk across the street to your best friend's house, let yourself in
- Go to the kitchen and your parents are already there eating breakfast burritos w your bff's parents
- They come stay for a month every year to hang & help w the kids, they're…

San Francisco, 2030

- You wake up
- You walk 2m to Cafe Reveille to get breakfast
- You overhear a convo about AGI
- You notice it's people you know from Twitter
- You join the conversation, a new relationship starts
- You walk 10m to work
- You're stuck and need to make a key…

Many see me as the 'community guy'

Unironically, I don't see myself that way

I want to create circumstances for the average person to self-actualize

Community plays a part in that

But it isn't the solution to everything

Technologists are the most capable people on Earth

Twenty years ago we didn’t have the resources as a group to affect our lived environments

Now we do

And we care, a lot

Soon we will create cities more enriching than any period in human history

Its time to build

Up 15 pounds from January

Goodbye skinny fat

SF co-living homes are like deep ocean currents that drive the nutrient and talent rich city newcomers into convection cells with the experienced and well-capitalized.

The sociology of San Francisco does this amazing thing of idea, talent, and capital discovery 🧵

99.99% of people are unserious

Being in the 0.01% simply means that failure isn’t an option you consider

It doesn’t exist in your mind

When someone mentions “what if it doesn’t work out,” you’re genuinely confused

If this isn’t you. Don’t start.

I struggle to understand why SF progressives don’t research historical examples of their policies. They’d quickly see that things like rent control only exacerbate problems.

There isn’t anyone that’s better at evangelizing something than Sigil Wen

SAN FRANCISCO NEEDS VISION

It's time for some creativity

We need:
- daycares for tech families
- university-style late night cafés
- a Zero /dd cafeteria
- a new South Park where everyone hangs out

Respond with your ideas

Let's spark a mega-thread of change ⚡️

Thesis:
Build a cult-like startup. Don't be near people. Create your own unique culture.

Antithesis:
Work in a coworking space with shared amenities.

Synthesis:
Build a cult-like startup. Get a private office. However, leverage proximity to other people to hire & fundraise.

Been using the latest version of Airchat for the last 2 weeks

Sigil Wen and Naval are onto something!

Wake up next to your 10 year visions. You’re certain to manifest them.

Imagine a version of San Francisco where our culture isn’t exclusively experienced at meetups, group houses, or offices, but it’s ever pervasive like the way you’d feel being on a college campus

If you’re ever feeling stuck in life:
- go on airbnb
- get a tent in Palm Springs
- leave all technology behind
- arrive
- ask yourself: “what’s the one decision I can make that would drastically change my circumstances within one month?”
- don’t leave until you have an answer

It’s time to make SF great

In 2024, imagine a tech founder creating something very useful to people, breaking the law to do it, getting threatened with jail time by SF, starting a movement against being shut down, winning the battle, then getting massive PMF. I can’t fathom this. travis kalanick was a legend.
