I've been actively fighting almost guaranteed age-related loneliness for years, studies show after age 30 you start seeing friends less and when you get older especially men don't have any social life left!
It's preventable, but it takes effort and initiative
We've now organized 70 weekly coworking days where we meet with friends and work together, do show and tell, and try help each other make things (also hardware stuff more recently)
We've also started organizing movie nights, art nights, barbecues, we watched the World Cup final on a projector screen in the garden with friends
We did a collage night the other day where we bought cheap gossip magazines, colored paper, and Pritt glue, and gave everyone scissors to make their own art, I think nobody spent time on their phone for at least 4 hours, making things puts you in a flow state and it's fun to do it in a group because you talk about different stuff while making things than you would for ex having a dinner
Movie nights are nice too but less popular I think cause everyone prefers to watch movies alone and also you can't really talk during a movie
Coworkings range from having sometimes 20 people to sometimes just 2 people, people have their own lives, but me and @rameerez still try to organize them weekly
One thing I realized is that we are usually the ones organizing stuff, but that's not a bad thing, there's even studies about this, there's usually a few people in a group who organize most of the events
If nobody in your group organizes stuff, it doesn't mean nobody wants to do stuff, but you have to take the initiative to bring people together which isn't easy in a time where phones and apps and the internet are simply easier and cheaper dopamine than driving to a friends house for a party
You can start with a coworking day, everyone brings their laptop, and you provide WiFi and coffee, then later you can try more types of events
Having an active social life is just as important or in some studies even more important for health than physical fitness
After a nice party I feel tired but satisfied, I had fun and didn't spend time on my phone or computer but instead talked and laughed with friends etc.
We don't drink alcohol with very few exceptions and nor do our friends, so it's mostly just having really nice food and sparkling water or kombucha etc, and we don't really need alcohol, after a few hours it gets fun enough anyway!
So I recommend everyone, take initiative, and organize something and get people together, it'll be fun! 😊
Great article on increasing solitude of our societies, in this case US but same probably in EU to a lesser extent:
"Derek Thompson's essay "You Are No Longer Invited to Dinner" argues that Americans have largely stopped having people over.
The headline stat comes from combining the old DDB Needham Life Style surveys Robert Putnam used in *Bowling Alone* with a new replication by Data For Progress.
The share of Americans who host friends or family at home at least monthly fell from 42% in 1975 to 12% in 2026, roughly a 70% drop. Most other forms of socializing also fell by double digits over the last 30 years, including cards, bars, sporting events, and volunteering. The decline in hosting was steeper than the much-discussed drop in church attendance.
He rules out two comforting explanations. People haven't just moved dinners to restaurants, since solo dining is rising and face-to-face socializing is down overall. They also haven't replaced parties with other social activities. Exercise and travel are up, but exercise is mostly solitary, and time spent at home has jumped sharply since the 2010s.
His explanations:
1. Harried dual-earner households. As societies get richer, leisure starts to feel like work, and planning a dinner party is basically unpaid project management. Women historically ran the family social calendar. When they moved into paid work, men didn't take over that job. He admits this can't be the whole story, because total leisure time has actually increased.
2. Intensive parenting. Parents, especially fathers, now spend far more time with their kids, and that time comes out of evenings that used to go to hosting adults.
3. Shrinking friend networks. Close friendships are declining, most sharply among people without college degrees, so hosting is becoming a luxury good. People who never host skew toward independents and non-graduates. He speculates that weaker social ties may lead to weaker party attachment, rather than the other way around.
4. Home is too comfortable. Americans spent almost two extra hours a day at home between 2003 and 2022, much of it on screens and short-form video.
His closing idea is a "Lump of Leisure" theory, a twist on the Lump of Labor fallacy. Technology hasn't made human work unnecessary, but it has made other people less necessary for fun. Social leisure turns out to be finite and easy to displace.
He frames this as a coordination failure rather than a personal one: a dinner party requires schedules, cleaning, food, allergies, and the risk of a dull evening, while TikTok asks nothing of you.
A footnote adds that if everyone gets a bit busier, the difficulty of coordinating a get-together rises multiplicatively, so small increases in individual busyness could produce large drops in socializing overall."

Great article. So much opportunity to fill in the gaps for nacient companies, because very few companies are at Uber scale and able to deal with all of this on their own

Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app.
We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient.
It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation.

This would make Legora the fastest ever YC company to go from 0 - $10bn+
AND it's European.
NICE.
Europe is about to get ANOTHER Decacorn as Legora is raising at a $10bn+ valuation!
It has now surpassed $150m ARR.
This is the DAY after @Lovable got valued at $13bn.
Stockholm is crushing it.
@IvanLevingston and @rmilneNordic have reported that the company is raising at a $10bn+ valuation, and could be as high as $11-12bn.
Europe is cooking
Super, jednou chci být takový otec
Provozuju banku. Má 2 klienty a úrok 3 % měsíčně. Jmenuje se Tatabanka. :)
Nešlo mi o to, aby děti uměly šetřit. To by stačilo prasátko.
Chtěl jsem, aby pochopily 2 základní věci.
Že peníze umí vydělávat peníze. A že když něco nekoupím dnes, můžu si to za pár let koupit víckrát.
Zmrzlina koupená dneska je jedna zmrzlina. Ta samá stovka odložená a rozumně uložená vám může za pár let kupovat zmrzlinu každý měsíc.
Tak sdílím, jak to děláme u nás:
1. Kapesné, i když ho dítě nepotřebuje
Bez vlastních peněz se nedá nic naučit. Naše děti mají 300 Kč měsíčně. Symbolicky, žádné pravidelné výdaje nemají. Můžou si ji vzít v hotovosti, nebo uložit u mě v Tatabance na 3 % měsíčně.
Vedou si k tomu ručně tabulku. Kolik měly na začátku, kolik vložily nebo vybraly, kolik přibylo na úroku, kolik mají na konci.
Syn si do Tatabanky rovnou přesypal všechno, co měl našetřené. Dcera to nejdřív odmítala. Pak jsme jednou u stolu počítali jeho úroky a ona se zvědavě dívala. Otočil se na ni a řekl jí: „Podívej se, o kolik přicházíš."
Tak přinesla kasičku. Od té doby úročí taky.
2. Hrajeme si na investory
Když v Tatabance přibylo peněz, změnil jsem pravidla. Fixní 3 % platí do tří tisíc. Co je nad, to jdeme „zainvestovat". A výnos každý měsíc určí hod dvěma kostkami. Padne dvojka, minus 3 %. Padne dvanáctka, plus 5 %.
Nejdřív přijde vyjednávání ve stylu „To přece nemyslíš vážně!" Pak pochopení, že takhle se to venku chová taky.
3. Vlastní účet, vlastní peníze, vlastní chyby
Kolem patnácti, když si syn začal vydělávat na brigádách, jsem mu řekl, že tohle už mu úročit nebudu. Otevřel jsem vedle svého druhý investiční účet. Jeho peníze, jeho pokyny. Já vidím na jeho, on na můj ne.
Patnáctiletého člověka nezajímá, co peníze udělají za deset let. Zajímá ho, co udělaly za deset minut. Posloužily i kryptoměny jako takový zrychlený kurz kolísavosti.
Chvíli zkoušel i vlastní teze. Hrál hru od Ubisoftu, akcie vypadaly na odpis, chystali nový titul, tak to koupil. Sám pak dorazil k tomu, že nejjednodušší je držet široké ETF.
K tomuhle závěru se dá dojít ve dvaceti za pár tisíc, nebo v padesáti za pár milionů.
A jedna věc, na kterou se v rodinách zapomíná. Ať vidí i utrácení. Šetříme na dovolenou, dovolenou si dopřejeme, na účtu je zase nula a začínáme znovu.
Jinak z nich vyroste někdo, kdo umí majetek hromadit a neumí si ho užít. Těch, kteří jedou v režimu Pac-Man na skóre potkávám hodně.
Není to raketová věda. Hlavně začít brzo, nespoléhat na školy a nechat je dělat chyby, dokud jsou levné.
Co funguje u vás doma?
