In your post you mention life coaches. I think that's a good example, but right off hand, I cannot think of any more. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000">I assume a life coach is a generalist, not a specialist like people who give advice on jobs or investments or buying a car. bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 19, 2020 at 9:20 AM John Grigg via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4">I have definitely gotten addicted to Eventbrite and the innumerable variety of interactive events their search engine gathers up for me to view on Zoom. I have signed up for well over 100 of them, with most occurring this month or next! I am actually losing sleep at times because of great stuff which happens in England, which is an area Eventbrite algorithms like to assign me. I love the historical and performing arts stuff which they offer, along with the wonderful accents. Last night I did a science fiction improv with a bunch of English young people, which was great fun and made me sort of feel like I was attending Hogwarts University (they were mostly in their early twenties). When I attended a couple of panels on British start-ups, for some reason the engineering guy was always Scottish with a thick brogue! Lol One such gentleman talked about how he worked on several James Bond films years ago, to help create the cool gadgets Q gave to the master spy. Finally, I have connected with some good crypto folks who I think will steer me right, and I also now have not one, but two personal life coaches! <br></font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">John : ) </font></div></div>
