For every talk, a thousand questions, a day straight of conversations, a year of collaborations, a dozen friends-to-introduce, projects upon projects upon projects

And that's just from 15 minute talks.

There is one other practicing engineer here, of 40+ people. After I asked one question, people were already reaching out to me for the techie perspective.

In A personal exploration of growing up in Kansas and the origins of trump-support there, I see echoes of silicon valley career-founders.

The conversations around conscientiousness and SJ implications of tech are not only happening- they're everywhere, and vibrant, and passionate and deep

And totally absent in engineering spaces.

And over and over, it's failures of unawareness. Empathic engineers abound- but unaware of schemas and disempowered from acting. The research exists- but how 2 find empathetic engs?

I must be in both, and I must be visible, and I am uniquely suitable to connect them, and I can, and I will.

Correction:
I can't do this; I'm just some fucking dude.
What I can do, though, is connect people, ideas, research, and applications.

I can foster partnerships, hand off projects, connect the passionate but mutually-unaware.

I need to do that, cause nobody else will who will be listened to.

I'll link my notes from talks after going for a walk. I've never felt this way... The smallest, biggest, nakedest, strongest I've ever been.

Like i can see my future butt-groove in the societal couch.
