> I really enjoyed the time and writing style of this!

Hi, author here. I'm glad you liked it--I don't get to hear this often. :)

> I had a bit of a laugh when the author described how they read and think too much and wanted to take action - then the solution is a club who who .. meet to talk about taking action :)

I wrote this post in a hurry because I'd have broken my streak otherwise and so didn't really spend much time on it. I just made a quick note and posted it online because I've recently started treating the blog like an open notebook rather than thinking that everything that goes on it has to be something I've thought about for ages and then executed perfectly; that helps with ignoring my perfectionism. I didn't think it would make it to HN. (I was hoping that would happen to a different post.)

All of this to say that: when I had the idea, I imagined us doing things and reporting on them, but I forgot to mention it in the post. I've added the update after seeing your comment, so thanks for pointing it out!

By the way your idea sounds a lot like how the Royal Society started. [0] You are following in the footsteps of giants.

One can dream :)
