For the love of making.
Great creative work is historically done together, across backgrounds and disciplines, in small, high trust groups. This is the foundation of boundary pushing work - in engineering, science, art, and more.
On top of that... there are increasingly few, low stakes ways for people to make interest, values aligned friends IRL. This is made worse by an endless stream of catered consumption.
It becomes pretty clear that we should do two things: gather and create. Socratica aims to help people do both.
