>Western society promotes the propaganda that nothing is worth doing unless you are being paid for it.<p>I don't find this to be the case. Many people in my circle of friends see earning money as a means to an end. Hobbies and charitable works are held in high esteem.<p>I spend a good amount of time "working" on Church activities that have no financial benefit to me. Often times they consume funds not generate them.<p>My wife loves to sew, she creates items that would be much cheaper if purchased fully made but gets great joy from mastery of her craft.
I love this idea. I regularly send lengthly emails to old friends and would love to have a better structure for handling this in a small community. I'm currently part of a well moderated and decent tech community on Slack, but even there things get lost in the void, there are low-effort posts and comments, lurkers, and strangers.<p>Thanks for the food for thought.
I think this is a really beautiful little concept.<p>While I imagine this being very interesting for circles formed around some topic matter, I can also imagine this as a nice way to carry forward small friend groups.<p>I’m imagining socials circles that existed in college would be very nice in this format. A simple low pressure way to keep in touch while also continuing to learn with and from each other.
