Humanarium & The Juicy Times presents: Dreams & Obstacles: a collective problem-solving practice. Dreamers say a dream out loud, and name what stands in its way. Then the whole room takes the obstacles apart: introductions, practical solutions, and breakthrough ideas. Let's see what happens when we dare to share our dreams. 🍊 Your ticket includes $10 at the bar. - - - Human connection does the one thing no AI model can: it surprises you. Your AI can hand you the wisdom of everything ever written about your problem. A stranger gives you her brother's phone number in Australia. That one needs a room of people. We are bringing NYC dreamers together. - - - Barbara Sher, the career counselor whose TEDx talk on wishes and obstacles has been watched by millions, discovered why dreams die. Her formula was almost embarrassingly simple. Get together in a room with strangers. Stand up. Say what you want. Say why you can't have it yet. And the room starts solving your problem, because our collective human intelligence holds what no single mind does: someone who has done it, someone who knows the shortcut, someone who knows a guy. - - - As humans, we evolved to solve problems together. The warmth, the feeling of being backed, the oxytocin: they all show up when the room comes alive. Today, we share our dreams mostly with AI assistants. We brainstorm alone at midnight, with an AI that agrees with everything we say and then tells us to go to sleep. (Thanks, Claude :) The ideas may get sharper. But a project discussed only with your AI is still a fantasy. So many dreams die without being tested against reality. - - - So for one evening, we're closing the tabs: a room of strangers, sparking each other the way ideas have always moved. Dreams & Obstacles is the new collective problem-solving format we built, inspired by Barbara's formula. Let's make dreams come true together. ✨ Grab your spot, the room is small and intimate by design.
