We're inventing ourselves. We influence each other some, but I think the main benefit of foruming, if there is one, is reflexive.

We stimulate each other, but we very seldom persuade each other. When we change, we change ourselves.

Persuasion is an elusive art. That is what I am learning from foruming.

From the perspective of writing, it can be difficult to empathize with readers for fear of being reviewed as a softie. I am new to writing.

From the perspective of engineering, it can be difficult to empathize with gearheads for fear of being reviewed as a softie. I am new to engineering.

The closest that I have been to the fire is when I dated an artist. She asked why I did not open doors for her and I did not understand why she did not want to feel the doors.

And at the end of the day we want to talk to each other in real life. A beer summit.

Is the beer summit akin to what we are trying to invent? If so then there are people that know how to do that.

Peace!
