interesting. i have solid mechanisms in place re: getting people IRL; i was hoping to open it up a little online here for a number of reasons. what do you think your time at discord taught you the most viz. judging who to invite/select? hard seeing through some of the trolls. they can legit be dangerous at times. have received death threats, etc.
i'd been down for an application process, i just fear the pretension behind that--how would you suggest i sell it such that requesting a writing sample doesn't come across as patronizing? i agree it will help separate the wheat from the chafe right off the bat in a number of ways; would love to flesh that out. will think on this, thanks.

as far as the purpose of the reading group, it functions on a number of levels. they are intertied and interconnected: simply put, i would like to live well, and ive personally found that being in discourse with people i find interesting and who share interests viz. ideas is instrumental to that end. socratic and all that jazz, etc. etc.: good conversation over good topics has and continues to enhance my life.
there is the functional and admitted economic aspect, which comes down to introducing people i like to one another. admittedly this is the closest it all comes to reproducing wealth in an echo chamber, piketty and bourdeiu's state nobility/cultural capital and all that. this is where i would like to truly open the program up, to exercise the power of the program to bring very bright people to very promising opportunities. it has started as an elite program, as it sorta had to; i now want to democratize it as much as possible. i was the ninth generation of my family born in DC: democracy runs through my blood like hemoglobin or plasma. as much as possible, i would like to share the privilege i've experienced, the ideas that have quite literally saved my life and which continue to sustain me.

what are you hoping to achieve with this synthesis? why do you believe such a monism is possible?
