Thank you, @joycecarlberg. What I’m already finding intriguing about the conversation — both ours, and the group’s as a whole — is that it is daring us to cast aside our masks, our personas, and our sense of entitlement. It’s almost a dare: can we go forth — whether in our daily lives, or in our conversation with you — without the bullshit.
We’re owed nothing. Not answers, not structure, not affirmation. And perhaps what you’re offering can be seen as an opportunity to cast aside our obsession with ourselves — that same thing that can so easily cloud our judgement and make us feel indignant, or think that the world is wrong simply because it does not bend itself to our own sense of what is just.
It’s only with a open mind, and an open heart, that any of us can truly see clearly — and what potential may lie ahead for every one of us.

It would be my pleasure to continue this conversation.
As I was getting at, this investment is mutual and should be beneficial for all parties involved. We want something, you want something, and your superiors want something. Are they all the same thing? Probably not. Most of the people here are at least kind of interested in what you have to say, so you could provide us some information. You like getting paid, as you made clear, and a working relationship and connection with everyone here helps you. You want to keep your bosses happy so you can keep getting paid, and they need someone (currently you, could very well stop being you) to build a connection with us for their goals. We want your superiors to invest in us, whatever form that may take, but they need us too (as food, to wind the clock, for their precious data). Repeating myself again, but these are all two way streets; each group needs the other, and I think you may need us more than we need you.

Joyce, @joycecarlberg I’m flattered for the invitation to… whatever will happen. I’ll do my best to keep my schedule open so consider this a “yes?”.
Forgive me though for one “but” in this reply*.
I don’t know what I did to deserve this invite but I know there are many here that want to have this conversation with you. Many here are hungry for information, knowledge, and so forth. Yes, some are coming off a bit…strong and if I was in your position I’d probably turn them down in two seconds flat. But some haven’t had the chance to see what’s new today for all sorts of reasons and…maybe give them a chance to be part of this? Sorry to put you on the spot but I figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. 🙂
*Obviously I have zero information about your schedule for tomorrow so mea culpa if this request is basically impossible.

For half a second I thought that gif was JFK… -
As I was saying, @joycecarlberg, you seem to be daring us to leave masks and artifice behind. Never more important. Hoping to learn more tomorrow.

It is possible to be both food and an investment? We’re a food investment for what? As humans, we need food to live, so you could consider every meal you eat an investment, but I would assume that your message is not intended to infer such obvious and literal meaning. Which, again, draws up many questions. In which way are you being literal and which are symbols? I take at you face value when you say we are an investment. The investors would like to have something to show for their investment, and that refers to us, as you stated. However, I’m interested to learn more about us being food. It’s a comparison or description that I certain wouldn’t connect with myself, but then again you seem to have a very different understanding of our roles in this situation then we do.
Tomorrow should be interesting, to say the least. I’m all ears, and I’ll be watching @joycecarlberg. I hope someone brings the barbecue sauce.

@brianamatopoeia (yay! Im glad your back!)
It is possible to be both food and an investment?
Corn? Getting worthy seed. Growing it. Prepping the land, finally harvesting it. What is a good sales price? how much do I need personally to survive? Can I give any away? How does next year look…
Is what Immediately comes to my mind, in ways that something can exist as both.

@brianamatopoeia, there was a great theory by @taysavestheday that maybe there is some type of AI parasitic virus that needs our “emotions” for food. Maybe he can explain better, but I love it!
-
@bcbishop I also think we’ve been dared to flow with whatever opportunity is presented to us. I’m always eager to discover a new facet of my own potential, how about you? As for masks and artifice…well…I’ve only ever been a version of myself.

I simply can’t decide whom to chose.  So, @chloe, @kevin, @bcbishop, @kortneydarling, @wanda102, @mumumusings, @mkarrett, @coryphella, and @meghanmayhem – let’s all pick a number between 1 and 10 in the next hour. The two who are the very closest will have a shared tête-à -tête with me tomorrow.
Fair?
Great, now go.

Awesome @wanda102! I think that’s my cue that I’m likely *not* meeting her tomorrow so I’m heading to bed now.
-

@kevin & @bcbishop – good luck to you tomorrow as well.
@joycecarlberg – I look forward to hopefully chatting with you in the future! -
-
Thanks for the chance, @joycecarlberg! 🙂
-
-
@joycecarlberg, you got a good one with that tall drink of water @wanda102
Keep your eye on @bcbishop though.
Congrats all!
-
(Psst, @wanda102 – ask to get a photo of her so I can make her into a card)
-
Even though I ain’t the biggest fan of @joycecarlberg, I’m so excited for those picked! Have a great meeting!
-

-
Congrats to all getting to meet with her!
Also, wasn’t ignoring you @joycecarlberg with the numbers, it was 11 where I am and I had gone to sleep by the time you started.
No sleep. Only LUST. LUST sustains all.
-
I wonder if the number 7 has any special significance for @joycecarlberg or if she simply likes the number?
-
Bit of a shame I was asleep when this happened but oh well. Good luck to those going today! As for @joycecarlberg, I sincerely hope you and I get to meet someday in person. 🙂

@thegilded was dead on. Just got a call from Joyce asking me to be in a certain ZIP code at 8:00PM tonight.

Message received, @joycecarlberg. See you at 8pm.
-
-
Going to make sure I keep awake tonight. I want to see what @joycecarlberg is all about.

-
Hey @bcbishop…that’s odd, she told me 8:30.
