Coming back here to see what’s changed (haven’t been on Warpcast in a year!) Love the idea of channels. It’s like #tags and subreddits had a baby.

Nominative determinism: “the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names” Like Thomas Crapper who made toilets Or Sam Bankman-Fried, who blew up a crypto exchange https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism

And going back a decade or more you can see the concept in science fiction books.
