Some big news @USDResponse & for me personally - today we launch our search for our next CEO, and in Dec I'll be transitioning from full-time to an org advisor. This is the best team & mission imaginable. You should apply. usdigitalresponse.org/press-…

what's not highlighted in this mini-doc is that the team is a phenomenal group of product builders. go work with ambrook if you want to be a part of a team that sweats the details in making great products and is working on a meaningful mission
We’re building @ambrook around a philosophy of pragmatic environmentalism: if you care about the earth, you should care about the people who are stewards of the earth. Thank you @Stripe for producing such a beautiful film about Ambrook’s mission and founding journey.

interact is good it's worth your time. it's worth being emotionally invested in it. it's worth spending 14 days in croatia to avoid the us travel ban and go to their retreat. it's worth staying up late to take part in circles. it's worth being vulnerable. interact is good

some communities are all signal, this one is complete substance if you’re a < 24 yr old technologist with moonshot ambitions and the thoughtfulness to back it up, consider meeting your lifelong friends at @joininteract

If there’s one community that’s impacted me so profoundly, it’s @joininteract. I have found lifelong friends here and I highly recommend applying if you’re between 18-24!

Interact holds dearly a principle of “non-instrumentality” amongst its members that makes it incredibly unique. If you’re between 18-23 and looking for a community of tech friends (especially ones interested in more liberal arts-ey/ existential questions of tech) - apply!!

Applying to @joininteract is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I feel lucky to be a part of the community. If you are looking to meet more young people thinking about what technology should be, consider applying!

come read my essay friends play.jzhao.xyz/life-of-a-pla…
Collaborated with some wonderful people w/ @joininteract's support in poking at the nebulous questions of what play is and what encourages more of it. We wrapped up a week ago and we're finally ready to share our artifact with the world! 🏕 play.jzhao.xyz/

All of moral philosophy is intellectually bankrupt because it fails to consider that the prime virtue and source of meaning in life is spending time with the homies.
