This is so fascinating because when I started the Ripple Room (my version of the BatCave) in January, it was for purely selfish reasons -- it was me who NEEDED to be around people after the withdrawal symptoms came raging through full force having left social media and not having any likes or flippant comments to hang on to. What it's turned into is this beautiful creative hangout where we simply chat, paint, collage, write, and go about the rest of our month feeling buoyant that someone cares enough to spend an hour with us. In the four months of doing it, the max number of attendees I've had is 8 -- but that's so much more than 0! All of this to say this is not a shameless plug for my own monthly live but that I understand, empathize and LOVE that you're doing this for YOU! See you, soon :)

The psychological egoist Thomas Hobbes would argue that our every action is ultimately driven by selfishness, but a lot of his philosophy was informed by his desire to take up two seats on the bus guilt-free.

all fine & dandy but is it LOGICAL?

I like that you referred to David Lynch in this one, that works. I want to attend! My attention span and health might decide otherwise, but I’ll fill out the form anyway!
