Nash Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 [Cross-post from the FB group] What do you guys do for a living? Any of you not satisfied with what you're doing, or want to be doing something that more directly moves the world toward peace and rationality? I've had a pretty good year financially, and I'm looking to reinvest in projects that make the world more awesome. And I'd obviously prefer to work with / employ / empower philosophically-minded friends, if possible. I have a ton of project ideas already, and am open to hearing your ideas too. Almost any skill can be useful, but I'm immediately looking for people with programming, Photoshop, social media, research, and writing skills. The main "qualifications" are reliability, good communication, and commitment, so don't be scared off if you don't think you have any hard skills. Since you're here, I'm guessing you're smarter than the average bear, and you could learn what you need if you're motivated enough. So seriously, let's talk and figure out if we can work together. You can comment here, or feel free to reach out to me privately. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- At the moment, my most pressing need is for an experienced C++ developer. See my job posting on Indeed, and please forward it to anyone you know who seems qualified (and is located in the right area). We're building charting software for independent stock traders; very competitive salary and benefits available. But as I said, there are a lot of other projects that we could collaborate on. Feel free to *propose* a project, as well. And the more we work together, the faster we can make the world better. So even if you aren't a developer, let's chat! 1
DCLugi Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I've always thought that one of the flames that burns brighter here at FDR is the entertainment value. There are other sites with great ideas and insights but sometimes the presentation isn't quite palatable. I'm a filmmaker/actor and would like to do more stuff like this. 1
A4E Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I am a BASIC programmer. Been programming for 20 years. Currently developing my personal dream game (by myself). It is available on my website and I have a big update coming out soon. I am focused on having elements in the game that can create a gateway to reason and philosophy with things like dialogue between characters in the game, and also other ways, like when you make a new game profile it will initially get a random name from a list of popular people online who are waking people up, and have helped me immensely. "The great Stefan Molyneux" can thus appear in front of an unknown amount of people playing the game. I also make music in a variety of ways. I would love for other freedom oriented people to use my music for their projects. I have experience in 2D graphics animation. And editing any digital media. I have also made my own encryption techniques to protect my music/sounds/gfx in my game. My game is currently donation based, partly because my marketing skills are very low. My financial situation now is poor, generally from my own preferences, like developing my dream game. I care much more about creating things than money. I would not mind working on articles, like I have on my website. I like to write in English and contribute in this forum. I always have a lot of ideas floating around.
DaVinci Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I'm an artist, and would love to do that as my full time job, though I'm not sure in what direction it could go that would advance philosophy. That having been said I have a ton of ideas about projects that aren't related to philosophy but could make some money, and some that are related to spreading philosophy that could potentially be a game changer and completely disrupt an entire market.
