Inspired by the wonderful little book “How to be Idle” (which I started reading last night)—full of anti-mimetic wisdom in a world full of hustle—I plan to spend a significant amount of time idling and chatting in the new, Anti-Mimetic Discord server that I just set up for this growing community.
The server is for premium subscribers to this newsletter only. Here is your private invite link: https://discord.gg/pDt2Q6U5aA
Does it seem ironic? An anti-mimetic community, inspired by mimesis? (After all, aren’t we all looking for a better model?) Yes, that’s exactly the idea: out of negative mimesis and into a more positive kind.
My hope is that we can have a more intimate conversation and get to know one another away from the hot-takeonomy of mimetic noise. You’ll find some great people who are genuinely committed to building a healthier human ecology and inspiring others to do the same. I know that because so many of you have reached out to me privately.
I don’t know what this will become…
