#019 - Andrew Rose on Friends, Community, Isolation, & Fearlessness


Listen Later

Andrew Rose, along with his wife, Priya, are building The Neighborhood in New York City, with the goal of bringing together 1000 forward-looking, abundance-minded friends within walking distance of one another.

Andrew and I talk about community building and bringing friends together, isolation, implementing the right social technologies, balancing contentment and ambition, and more.

(00:48) Building a community of 1000 friendly, ambitious, nerds within walking distance of one another

(04:44) Why do we look so few people — especially friends — in the eye every day?
(09:33) Seeing friends should be easy and fun
(10:18) “Reversing the centrifuge”: why we're here and how we change it
(16:24) Finding the right social technologies for your objectives
(18:19) What are the small details you have to get right in physical communities?
(21:08) The financial and governance systems they're using (and how that may change when they scale)
(27:50) Is or will there be an online community?
(30:26) Mitigating loneliness, obligation to humanity, and pooling social capital
(34:54) Being content and ambitious
(40:07) Can and should we encourage people to be less fearful?
(42:37) Andrew’s final question for listeners
