Simulating Others

One of the most common errors I see amongst well-meaning people are errors of awareness. They’re people with the ability to influence and they only want to help, but they lack a fundamental awareness of how others will react. This is particularly unfortunate because their efforts go misguided and can harm rather than help. The… Continue reading Simulating Others

Dating Advice for Women

I don’t usually give dating advice to women, but recently two of my female friends have been asking me a lot about dating, so I figured I’d consolidate some of the stuff we’ve been talking about here. Some of this stuff will apply to men, too, but for once I wanted to focus on the… Continue reading Dating Advice for Women

How to Become Interesting

This is a topic that seems arrogant to even write about, but two people have asked me to write a blog post about it, so I’m going to take a stab at it.

How to Relate to Others

I have to admit that I never thought that I’d write a blog post on how to relate to others. For most of my life I realized that I wasn’t particularly empathetic but didn’t prioritize changing that. Then I met a very empathetic friend (she wrote The Charisma Myth) and she just point blank told… Continue reading How to Relate to Others

Build Things With Your Friends

A couple years ago I became obsessed with the idea of buying an island. I mean, I’d always been obsessed with it, but my obsession shifted from the idea of buying the island into the action of buying it.
