I remember before the plague it became fashionable to talk about "having your personal advisory board". It was just a friend group for socially stunted MBAs.

I see it as symptomatic of something worse: the tendency to monetize, advertise, and exploit everything that you are. For anyone willing to go hard enough on those ideals, it's (theoretically) possible to achieve more income. The thing that's keeping the rest of us from doing this are opposing ideals like privacy, quality of life, respecting boundaries, and healthy relationships.
Pretty sad really, just like in general.
Is this for his AA meetings? Because it sounds kinda fire for that.
Let's synergize and offer value-added guidence with some D&D.
it's called a wargaming teambuilding exercise
Let's share each other's emotions and experiences of the week while drinking beers.

This sounds like the guy who suggested "virgin edibles" as an idea worth trying out.
Or, to rephrase it, "food."
Fuck, imagine if someone ONLY ate edibles for all their nutrition needs
I don’t know how you all feel about ChatGPT but I was curious if the robots would understand how silly this post was. It delivered.
The fourth point "okay, first meeting. Let's talk about death, aliens and your ex" actually sounds like riveting conversation
Hey, I'm game. Sounds fun.
Also: should there be a "AI writing prompts" community?
I think there should be. Gemini gave me a really good giggle when I asked it to write a short story about what would happen if cops and courts started interpreting the law the same way sovereign citizens do.
I am unironically going to start using "fostering gratitude loops with dish-based reciprocity"
I would be down as well except maybe discussing personal relationship issues with random stranger I just met.
This is really good. I'm impressed.
I especially love the "cohort of 1 (yourself)" bit. Don't think I'd dare push the parody that far myself but it works.
When your post is so vapid that you get roasted by an LLM.
OpenAI fed this thing a steady diet of internet forums as training data. You'd better believe that it knows how to verbally destroy anything and everything, at every conceivable level of sass and/or vitriol.
So there is a real world use case for chatgpt, roasting LinkedIn bros.
I don't think this is bad advice. However I don't think that it should be limited to just men.
Also I think the group should align politically and be able to support each other in solidarity. They could also use meeting time to plan resistance to fascist regimes.
However there are quite a few people (I am mostly thinking of men I know) that tend to isolate themselves from friends when they need help the most or once they get into a romantic relationship. This is probably not just a men's issue however.
Cut it off after the first 2 points and it sounds ideal.
A bunch of 4-5 guy friends who are open to talk about anything with the motivation being to get a better understanding.......where do I sign up?

Hey if this gets more men to make actual meaningful friendships instead of succumbing to the roganverse I'm all for it.

Diamond Dogs?
Diamond Dogs! 💎🐶🐶🐶
Woof!
Hey, if that’s what it takes for Nathanael to have some human interaction, I’m cool with it. I don’t necessarily want to be involved, but I’m not against it.
They could make some shitty startup named BroBar that creates public places where the atmosphere is chill, beer is served, and where you could find people for your "core group". Maybe even play some pool.
But first of all, you have to think about the monitarization and scalability! Make it a subscription service! And you need an app to track your ~~pay slaves~~ customers! And you need merch! This "friendship"-business model must be profitable!

Ngl I read this as a positive thing at first
Like friendships should be about creating a safe space where people can talk about sensitive subjects without being judged. A lot of toxic masculinity influencers keep saying that men shouldn't have feelings, men should just bottle it up, etc. and that's just not a good and healthy mindset.
Then I realized this was on linkedin lol
idk what kinds of 'friends' you have, but none of mine are like this.
This is more of ...what, a mini business incubator but for life goals?
There are people who literally have like become capitalism. They don't see human interaction as a thing beyond some sort of gain. And this is basically someone realizing that maybe just having supportive friends is a good thing, but can't frame that outside of the realm of pure capitalism and how every interaction must be a transaction.
