as (likely) one of these two people -- I still glad I did it / Ben let me do it anyway.  

I can think of around ~two people who knew that writing a single blogpost in a day simply wasn't how they could produce writing they're proud of, and have since taken substantial parts of their writing offline.

I went in predicting it might not be me!compatible and this turned out to be true! I found publishing work in this way pretty unpleasant but also worthwhile? That said, I think many of the great things in my life have also been unpleasant and worthwhile (sailing across the atlantic; organizing large events; falling in love with the wrong person). In this spirit, I am glad I did inkhaven.  

Things I liked include: The organizing team was cool and wrote real good. I made more friends than posts I liked. It was cool to see how publishing became soo much easier over the month. I enjoyed spending time occupying my own brain space. I learned things about myself. I learned things about other people. I enjoyed being around many people trying. The food was good and flexible. I noticed generating material from thin air for a blog everyday made me better at telling stories at parties. 

If I were to do inkhaven for the first time again: I would set up systems to get over myself (for example just request feedback, make a script or flip a coin if you have to) and get to know people earlier on in the program -- as those turned out to be my favorite parts. 

happy to see an april version! 

*i moved to drafts because i felt shy (and because I can) but brought it back. i appreciate the perspectives.
(will likely move this post to drafts in a few days after information gathering and appreciate peoples perspectives so far! they have subtly shifted how i think of a few things.)

I appreciate the detailed response thank u

yeah does seem to a known problem. I do think there are few people

ty! yeah. tbc i would also not endorse "falsely tell the world that the book represents you, because it's close enough" but i do think when parties have ~some reason to want to be cooperative, it is productive to build on areas of agreement, and i felt that has been missin

guys I cut this but honestly do u consider riding a motorcycle to be within your risk budget? would you be excited or discouraging if a friend or loved one started riding a motorcycle? do you consider building superintellgience to be within your risk budget?

this was so strangely lovely

This doesn’t match my experience of Nate and I wonder if you may hold a bias here
