What feels wrong
Yesterday I listened to a podcast by someone who calls himself "The Functional Melancholic." I found myself relating to much of what he had to say and felt compelled to subscribe even though I normally avoid such negativity. The episode is titled, "When the System Dies, You Finally Get Your Life Back" Then, this morning my inbox included an article on the Medium platform titled, "Why Modern Life Feels Impossible - And What Comes Next". Both the podcast and article recommend that we do three things to cope with our current situation: limit our attention to things that matter most to us, decide what is "sufficient" instead of constantly chasing "more, more, more", and join and cultivate genuine community.
I think both the podcaster and author were thinking primarily of local, physical communities. However, I think it is possible (though difficult) to create community online on a platform like this one. It will require effort on my part AND participation from those who join. To that end, I'm curious . . . what ideas do you have for ways to grow this community and make it engaging and worth your time?
