Running clubs and associations and churches and any nonprofit oriented community organization is hard work.

Throw more parties. That’s one solution. It’s not easy either, but it isn’t pure hedonism. It’s creating real social bonds. And it takes real work!! Underappreciated.

Not that building these is or was ever that easy for the impoverished, but hey, before civil society became more secular, folks still managed to throw together churches even without the Vatican. Not that I think we need more churches, but makerspaces are a very good idea, and should ideally serve a larger segment of their host community beyond just hardware and software nerds.


Arrange for people meet up in a bar. There are meaningful costs to social organization, though. Important to note.


Virtual reality. Though it sucks.
