There’s a saying that goes something like “the best way to predict the future is to create it.”
I want to create the future.
I have a bunch of amazing friends and mentors and co-conspirators that I really want to create the future with, because I know them, I like them, I trust them, they support and inspire me, and they definitely want to create the future too.
I want to travel the world having adventures with them, meeting new people, and having deep conversations about the future they want to create.
And then I want to help them build it.
another brick in the wall
A normal company is a machine made of people - the people are components that can be replaced. They’re there to serve the mission of the company. And they do that through work.
I want to try something different.
I want to create an organisation whose purpose is to support the individual missions of its members, and whose mission emerges from the missions of its members.
And we do it through play.
Well, something a bit more than play: adventure.
I’m calling this organisation microclub.
If you’re reading this, you’re a member, if you want to be.
This trip has been, as well as a fact-finding mission to the mythical land they call Silicon Valley, a little adventure to road-test this idea, and figure out what a practical implementation might look like.
you say you want a revolution
We do, in fact, all want to change the world. Maybe not everything. Maybe just one small part of the part of it that we can touch.
So let’s do it together! Let’s take an hour, an afternoon, do something small, do it badly. But: fucking do it. Do it with a friend, take a walk, have a coffee. Talk about it, talk about it, talk about it some more. Measure twice, cut once. Hang it, treat yourself to a sausage roll.
It’s allowed to be fun.
