In this interview with David Chapman, we discuss Fluidity Forum, a gathering we're planning for 2023.

We'll also discuss two new events I've attended recently: Critical Rationalism Weekend in Philadelphia, and Vibecamp in Austin.
The conversations that have started to excite me the most are intermediate scales between the individual & the world:
- not-for-profit projects, activities & events, such as maker spaces, druid groves, science fiction conventions, local Burning Man events, open source software projects, Mastodon or Discord servers, board game/role playing groups, and Vibecamp
- co-housing and intentional communities
- scenes, where “scenius” emerges
- subcultures & subsocieties
Do those intermediate scales supply a path for personal change to bring about system change? When a small community implements a change that is un-scalable beyond its size, it’s like a sand castle. The world’s systems act like an ocean that soon washes it away. What can scale the local to the global, the temporary to the self-perpetuating?
We also discuss this article by Hanzi Freinacht about the "3H" population: Hackers, Hipsters, and Hippies.

I make audiobooks and release them as podcasts. 
The 20th-century systematic mode of social organization provided pre-packaged meaning, value, purpose, and ethics. It broke down. We entered an internet-enabled atomized mode of social organization, splintered into a kaleidoscope of meanings, without context. Audiobooks narrated in the Fluidity podcast will look toward constructing a fluid mode.
Welcome to episode 1 of the next book, a work of non-fiction by David Chapman, a Buddhist and a former artificial intelligence researcher. "Meaningness" takes problems of meaning-making, typically considered spiritual, and turns them into practical problems, which are more tractable.
This ten-minute introductory episode will give you a taste of this approach.

Two stances that don't work: “Everything has a definite meaning” and “Nothing means anything.”

Meaningness is the quality of being meaningful or meaningless.
