I've been thinking about this a bit. I think we need to get better intelligence augmentation. We are limited in what we can produce, because we are limited in what we can manage. So we need to improve how much we can manage.

I'm thinking about it in terms of improving autonomy

I've been trying to find a community. But it seems pretty diffuse.



How have I never heard of this before? (EDIT: oh, it's a really recent post.)

That list of bullet points hits hard. Bookmarked.

The name is excellent. It focuses on the work to be done, ties it to a traditional virtue, and jettisons the baggage that would otherwise come with references to earlier iterations on the theme.

Ditto that about the community being diffuse, although my failure to find similarly minded company may in part be due to the fact that I haven't figured out how to boil this all down to an elevator pitch. The "Autonomy" post helps.


I decided to put more effort into making a community, got a wordpress https://improvingautonomy.wordpress.com/ and a subreddit so far. https://www.reddit.com/r/improvingautonomy/

Feedback and/or participation would be great


Cool. Glad you liked it. It was great to read your comments about similar ideas.

I think my next step is to see if it'll take on HN, so I've just submitted it. If not try and repackage it and get it on an interesting blog/website. Where would you expect to see something like that?
