Ep. 13 - Brian Amerige of Thoughtful on rethinking social

  • Summary

  • What if?  What if we re-thought what "social" means, to rid ourselves of the dark elements and instead promote the enriching parts? 

    In this episode, we talk to Brian Amerige, CEO and co-founder of Thoughtful, and who takes us on a journey on rethinking social.  His app, Thoughtful (available at https://thoughtful.community/Brian) represents his effort to bring this vision to reality.
    Specifically, we discuss:

    • Why we need ideas to flourish as humans
    • How current social platforms promote non-enriching content, leading to toxic environments.
    • How Thoughtful promotes ideas through the consumption of interesting content.
    • Why "Thoughtful time" creates a number for screen time you should be proud of. 
    • The marketplace for new apps is still huge - especially for positive, human centric apps. 
    • In Thoughtful, engagement with people is limited to the extent it can help engagement with ideas. 
    • Why metrics at Thoughtful are used to inform decisions but not make decisions. 
    • How the "judgement coefficient" helps match individual interests with other people with similar interests, and their recommendations, regardless of popularity of that content. 
    • How you could use Thoughtful to improve your college experience
    • Why students should focus on problems when thinking about their career.
