Tom Davenport (https://x.com/TomDavenport)

UK. Owns a marketing company, active in the industry, and has very high awareness about the general memetic landscape, willing to sign on to meta efforts to improve it.

Is friends with Aeron Laffere (https://substack.com/@aeronlaffere, https://x.com/aeronlaffere) who is also a great node here:

Hi Omar,

I just came across your open memetics work. I’m a former neuroscientist, now variously a writer and software engineer living in the UK. I’ve had an idea like this kicking around my head for a while—would love to chat if you’d be up for it?

Nothing specific in mind, would just love to learn more about your perspective and see if there’s any way we might collaborate at some point.

David Goldstein (https://x.com/everykfool)

NYC, of "how to meddle in an election" fame, he did a political A/B test and lifted the curtains up on it: https://www.npr.org/2019/05/24/726536757/episode-915-how-to-meddle-in-an-election
