SAFE Socially verified networking cafe with strangers
A cafe where all the patrons that are there at the same time as you are verified as being who they say they are and have done what they said they did and there is open plan circular tables where you can sit with others | |
There would be tables for two persons, 4 and 6 (in a circle)
The goal is that you can meet new persons and network as part of your normal day.

So, a normal café, but you have to show your passport to be allowed in? |

Real-time resumé verification? |
|
| |
How scared has this newest generation become to think this sort of thing aught to be normal? |

I swear we used to play chicken with throwing knives, and even lawn-darts or arrows if you were stupid enough when I was growing up, we'd run down stairwells of our apartment buildings spraying WD-40 on top of the steel railings to see who could make the deepest flame trail which would make it all the way back to the top, we'd make rocket engines from expended CO2 cartridges and strike-anywhere wooden match-heads with sparklers for wicks with a dumb-bell tube for a barrel, and chase each other through the bush using crab-apples for our sling-shot ammo... |

How would matchmaking work? Would knowing the resume of the person next in line at the coffee shop make me more likely to talk to them? This seems like an application for VR goggles. It might work, or it might become an avenue for irl spam, like the random people who message me on LinkedIn. |

Maybe this concept could improve social cohesion for apartment-dwellers who otherwise would not meet, or more generally for people in cities. |
|

But would I want to see my own socially verified resume? "Likes halfbaked ideas. Harmless. A bit odd." |
