on ne pourra plus jamais supprimer la dopamine des réseaux

il faut au contraire l'injecter dans le travail.

le passage du monde ultra-stimulé au monde du travail profond provoque une chute insupportable, qui explique pourquoi on n'arrive plus à se focus.

la civilisation glisse vers des esprits dopés au scroll, isolés, où l’avantage compétitif devient la concentration.

this is my life, turned into a game.

introducing Promethee

[N. @Nlacombe_]

two months ago I was looking for a cofounder. I had access to brilliant profiles but I was looking for a very specific thing: resilience

someone who had been broken and rebuilt, carrying a mission bigger than building a company

so @juliadenoly introduced me to Miron.

he grew up far from everything: 4,000km from Moscow. at 17 he left home alone and at 18 he won the largest hackathon in Russia

he went on to VK, then Telegram (TON)

then the war came. he left the country, his family

when we started talking about building together, 5 days before I flew to San Francisco, his US visa was denied. he couldn’t come

we were devastated

so he flew from Italy to Paris, and we locked ourselves in a room for 48 hours

and we haven’t stopped since

what’s funny is that we’re the only remote team in @jointhebridge .
he builds through the European day, I build through the night. we ship every 3 days

two people who got knocked down early building a tool for the human mind

[The Bridge @jointhebridge]

what if work was as addictive as a video game

they built it

[Promethee @Promethee_io]

Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to mortals.

We're stealing attention back from the algorithms and giving it to you.

[N. @Nlacombe_]

@Promethee_io btw, new version releasing tomorrow

we onboard new testers.

[N. @Nlacombe_]

storyteller is exploding as a job category in SF

bc the new generation of founders is defined by the story they tell while building.

so the post-AI era shifts everything toward acquisition science and art.

I know a top-tier VC/incubator in San Francisco hiring its storyteller

reply below and I’ll send the details

[N. @Nlacombe_]

the demo showed 100% of the vision. the live product is 30% of that vision

what's live today? focus tracking, XP, a community feed, and the first signals of something we didn't fully expect: Promethee is becoming a multiplayer game

retention up (70% week 1). engagement up. what's next? design, depth.

we are building proof of work, made social. Strava made running visible. GitHub made code visible. we make the work visible.

in 5 years, every ambitious person will exist publicly through what they actually built.

we are adding 200 new beta testers from the waitlist this week.

[N. @Nlacombe_]

it’s live.

you have 3 hours to get into the waitlist and share the link so you will gain places.

we open beta to the first 200.

[N. @Nlacombe_]

28 years to learn one thing: the mind at full intensity. the body at full intensity. rest. held together

that is where peace lives

[N. @Nlacombe_]

had a conversation with a former top world e-sport player. he's building a startup now.

what made him win at the highest level is obsession. one thing. all the time.

discipline runs on schedules and willpower. both break

obsession runs on pleasure. and pleasure doesn't break

[N. @Nlacombe_]

2 years ago:

[N. @Nlacombe_]

for those who missed it:

founders from my incubator grabbed a painting from the house we live in and showed up at Sam Altman’s party uninvited

-> everyone told them to leave

-> Sam Altman saw them and brought them in

-> they met every major entrepreneurs and VC on the planet.

the embarrassment is always just temporary.

the audacious: @ishita_lives @RMladek @tedbibr @MattCahill86

[N. @Nlacombe_]

Kima Ventures with @Xavier75 is investing in Promethee.

alongside them: YouTubers with millions of followers, international athletes, successful founders.

we're going to build the augmented humans the next decade demands.

[Jeffrey Dalmat - Jeffwie' @jeffwie_]

j'suis trop hype @Nlacombe_ prends mon argent

rien que le système pour augmenter le partage de l'app vaut la peine de voir ça : https://t.co/k5BsGiMpIW

[RezTReK @vRezTReK]

@Nlacombe_ Sûrement le concept le plus complet pour exploiter le plein potentiel des joueurs dans la vie professionnelle. Bravo.

[N. @Nlacombe_]

sharing the link jumps you 10% closer to the top.

[La Guilde @laguilde_]

la waitlist pour tester est ouverte.

[N. @Nlacombe_]

I turned my life into a game to perform.

I built an app that turns every work session into a game: Promethee.

screen tracking and focus hours. XP, levels, quests. Mentor. progression menu.

we will never remove dopamine from social media. we have to inject it into work instead.

the shift from the ultra-stimulated world to the world of deep work creates an unbearable drop. that's why no one can focus anymore.

civilization is sliding toward minds doped on scroll, isolated, where the competitive edge becomes concentration.

Promethee turns the effort of focus into a game and will build augmented humans.

500 spots open for beta testers.

tomorrow.

we measure birth rates and inflation but we don’t measure the one thing that built every civilization: human attention.

in 2004, the average attention span on a screen was 150 seconds. today it’s 47.

tiktok’s own internal research, cited in court, determined exactly how to addict a teenager: in 35 minutes.
they admit that compulsive usage causes “loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual thinking, conversational depth, empathy”. Meta internal documents reveal the same: “our product exploits weaknesses in the human psychology.”

fewer humans. weaker minds. the architects of the next century are being born in smaller numbers and arriving with less of what built every civilization before them

birth rates collapse over generations. attention collapses by the second. this is the fastest civilizational decline in human history

[N. @Nlacombe_]

Promethee is the story of a return.

humans once built myths that shaped civilizations

then they lost focus, attention, and the control on their own lives

we are building the path back.
