build a social circle which can maintain its own attention, as a group, without just reflecting the memetic currents of the world around it.
Note that it is not necessary for the social circle to share your beliefs, only to have a social norm that people express interest in each other’s work. Could be something like: once or twice in a week the people will come to a room and everyone will give a presentation about what they have achieved recently, and maybe the other people will provide some feedback (not in the form of “why don’t you do Y instead”, but with the assumption that X is a thing worth doing).
