We think that most people have a compelling story to tell or something interesting they’re working on that is worth sharing. We believe more people should write and fewer people should have a newsletter. We desire to see more shared spaces for productive conversations. We lament that too many projects have too many qualifications for participation. When creatives collaborate—without friction and with freedom—outcomes of consequence emerge.
One of the byproducts of the The Dial community is Symposeum , a quarterly magazine by and for rational optimists. We also care about building relationships: between strangers turned friends, co-conspirators, and colleagues in the work of re-imagining the world as it ought to be.
