I am taking this course to practice effing the ineffable because you can't scale a social mission without putting it into words

Very much endorse this class! It changed the way I think about personal values & how I design social spaces. 🥳

Also, learn to measure meaningfulness and flourishing, so you can tune models and build systems to support it

In 2023, I aim to gather researchers for three new subfields (in tech, ML, and econ). If you belong in one, I'll try to get you colleagues, funding, etc.

Things I like about teaching the school for social design course:

1 - The people taking the course are super smart, sincere, introspective folks working on cool projects + I get to meet them w/o needing to go out and find them. It's fun to teach sth to such a dope group.

This has quickly become my most popular design suggestion, and now it's a 6 minute video (https://t.co/UZLEgtiWpO). It's about splitting your project into funnels, tubes, and spaces.

Why's it popular? It’s easy to grasp, and makes a big difference in what you make.

Want to learn how to design spaces, not just funnels and tubes? https://t.co/kBm1kUH17q

Who wants to take our new course? Who has questions?

(5 weeks; now called "Meaning Articulacy Intensive"; last month it was "Shared Meaning Revival")

[Joe Edelman @edelwax]

So cool!

[Ric @ricvolpe]

I talk a lot about values, and part of the reason is because @humsys made them actionable for me, something I can use to feel more motivated and engaged daily

We've improved our program!

🤝 It's now a much more social, cohort-y experience.
🚀 There's a better progression: first, redesign things for your own values; then, design for other's sources of meaning; finally, work on larger scales.

[School for Social Design @humsys]

📚 Each stage is its own course, so the price and time commitment's more manageable.
📝 We now test your new skills in values-based design throughout—you know how you're learning, and we know how we're teaching.
