Great post! Was cool getting a glimpse behind-the-scenes of the Athens-Roam drama – reminds me of the "disagreeable giver" archetype from Adam Grant's book.
I've also been thinking about meta-work getting in the way of real work myself recently (https://kzhai.substack.com/p/062-i-havent-been-taking-real-risks). I think the optimal strat is to lead a life where you're having so much fun that there's no room to wallow in the meta-work.
Anyway, hyped that you're feeling that Athens-era energy again!
