the aliveness message resonates with me but I still feel quite skeptical. is it really aliveness? can there be real, honest, visceral aliveness on a digital platform? like the type he talks about? maybe it's a lack of creativity on my part but I just don't think the incentives exist online to nourish aliveness in humans. atleast I haven't experienced that. but ofc, like most things, I am probably wrong about this in a way that i can't really understand right now

real-time makes things feel more alive for me wondered if you had to give brutal feedback on why beings club didn't feel alive to you, what was it?

great to hear from you john real-time, IRL, nervous system to nervous system has meant the most to me. atleast that is what I am doubling down on. the felt experience of being with another in all their facets has been so hard for me to reproduce online over the past 5 years. online social groups "can" sometimes struggle with offering that richness of context that many people can traverse together, but I think they are still so very useful in the sense that given incredible constraints, you can still atleast traverse *some* contexts with others. beings club is that to me. very special group of people. my point: I have a luxury belief/need that wants and craves the electricity of other humans that I have only been able to get IRL and that digital spaces were burning me out in a big way. said another way, I was trying to get many online spaces to meet needs that it was ill-suited to meet. and that all of them have their place but balance and discernment are required.
