This discussion makes me glad to see the proliferation of mandatory uniform rules in public schools in the US.

So this thread kind of went dormant. What are the next steps? Any movement for a meetup?
I’ve suffered from insomnia for as long as I can remember (I’m 25). I’ve tried every form of medication / therapy / sleep study / sleep hygiene that you could possibly imagine. Just like Eliezer can’t lose a pound—I can’t still can’t get into a normal / sustainable sleeping pattern. Very frustrating! We have a long way to go.
Would such “practice” require a physical venue? -- or would an online setting—maybe even Skype—be sufficient?

A lot of companies conduct anonymous “360 review” processes which veer into this territory to some degree.
Also, several business schools conduct leadership labs. In fact, a large chunk of the business school experience is really about social grooming / learning how to network / and so forth.
So do we have any traction for this idea? How about a meetup?
I only need one item:
The Holy Bible

Generally, I agree. There’s a time and a place for both online and offline venues.
Ideally, you’d want a very large number of participants such that, during sessions, most of your peers are new and the situation is somewhat anonymous/random. If your sessions are with the same old people, these people will become well known—perhaps friends, and the social simulation won’t be very meaningful. Who knows.. maybe there’s a way to piggyback on the Chatroulette concept?!
I’ve noticed that, in the late 1990s / early 2000, there was a run-up towards ever bigger brand logos on shirts and shoes. I think this was a one-time event, not a repeating cycle. I’ve now noticed that this trend is receding, even among high schoolers. In the age of Facebook signaling, could it be that clothing logo-ism is on a permanent trend downward? What comes next?
too far north...
About a year ago I founded a startup that makes software—for doctors—that’s powered by Google Glass. We are now the largest Glass startup, with over 30 employees and a substantial amount of VC funding.
