Welcome to Deep Takes on Hot Takes

Hello and welcome to Deep Takes on Hot Takes!

Thank you for being a part of this. This is a huge experiment—and we believe it matters a great deal. I believe that what we start here over these next four days will plant seeds that will have an outsized positive impact on the direction our whole human civilization goes. I hope your continued participation will water these seeds. 🌱

And! no pressure—playfulness, lightheartedness, joy, humor, ease, flow, along with forgiveness, failure, learning, mistakes, challenge should all be part of the positive future, if we have any say about it :)

Convos may sometimes get heated (since that edge is where a lot of great dialogues happen), but let us stay in touch with ourselves and each other's humanity when it happens rather than getting overheated and resorting to habits our whole selves don't endorse.

I hope you change your minds about something you didn't realize you were holding fixed. Eg: This morning I already had a friend point out how I missed a broader and more complex point. I also already noticed a subconscious attention maximization routine running that ironically weakened the point and spirit of what I was trying to convey; this is not the first time the site has shown me a blindspot. Although I can still feel a subtle defensiveness and embarassment rise up in the moments of self-discovery, I'm overwhelmingly grateful to have the chance to notice and update these patterns through my engagement here.

Navigating the site

Some things may be confusing. You can refer to Dara's walkthrough videos, (note since this was posted: these videos no longer make sense and have been removed) but please also feel free to ask questions and provide feedback (you can reply to this thread, or even email us support@uptrusthq.com)—we want it to be easier to use.

If your feed feels confusing, you may want to click "feed options" and then click "hide comments" (the third slider down). (note since this was posted: this is no longer a feature)
Some things may break. Please bear with us—there's so much that we're still figuring out. Feel free to submit feedback using that button on the bottom right corner.
For finding conference material, you can also use search "Deeptakes"
If you're not seeing trust scores, vote more. Remember that down-votes are also generative—they not only help you curate your feed, they help the system find "bridges."
If your "Discover view" doesn't have much content in it, then make sure to comment on more posts. (note since this was posted: Discover View is no longer updated)

Let's have a whole-hearted conversation that we'll be proud of a year from now. And let's have fun. #deeptakes
