Thinking club

A recurring club built around structured discussion (Denys’s note: around a “thinking book”; resonated at lunch 2026-07-08).

Why it scores on three axes

  • Connection (primary): directly answers loneliness + the connection-as-state-lever confirmed on 2026-07-08. Also a way to “stay sane with all the AI bullshit going on.”
  • Meaning / pull: candidate answer to find-pull.
  • Money: not the point at first — but Denys does expect to monetise eventually (“Actually, yes. I do expect to make money out of it. Why not”).

Path

First step is a small gathering — cheap and confirmed runnable (2026-07-08). Bias toward running the smallest test over deliberating.

Decision log

  • 2026-07-08 — Surfaced fresh at lunch once the “no-meaning” state lifted via social contact (2026-07-08).
  • 2026-07-13 — Split out of the former project-ideas open-tab into its own backlog project under the new project ontology.
