Lives in **San Mateo**. Built an app called **pause**. Possible originator of the [[Wu Wei Disclosure]] framing. Not a last-name confirmation in the transcript. ## What we know from the transcript ### San Mateo / cowork Jacob to David: > "We should have, like, a house then, or something. Let's do it. Well, let's get dinner all tomorrow if we can." > "Harrison lives in San Mateo, so very close. Yeah? I just, I think it's like 20 minutes for me." Suggesting Jacob and Harrison cowork frequently. ### "Pause" Earlier in the conversation: > "Harrison, by the way, made his own app called pause. And it's a break app — but he'd be... you guys are just drinking the same water, man." The "break app" framing suggests pause is a sibling project to Jacob's [[Empowerment Algorithm App]] — both interventions in the [[Engagement vs Empowerment Algorithms|engagement-vs-empowerment]] axis, but with different mechanics. Jacob's closes unproductive tabs; Harrison's seems to insert pauses (pre-engagement friction? scheduled break time? unclear). ### "Best tool for every task" > "He's, like, also absolute beast at knowing every best tool to use for every task." Tooling-curation savant. Suggests Harrison is the kind of person who has the right CLI, the right SaaS, the right script for any subproblem — a useful taste in Jacob's circle. ### Education interest > "You got to tell Harrison about this [the journeyman model], because he's super interested in education. I think this is a little bit out of his current paradigm of how he thinks about it, and he'll love it." Harrison is into education-as-domain. Jacob predicts the [[Journeyman Model]] will land for him. ### Parents > "It's just nuts that your parents are both [kindergarten] educators." Said to David, but in context where Jacob is comparing notes with David about Harrison. Specifically: > "Oh, my god, you and Harrison are going to flip out when you meet each other. It's just nuts that your parents are both [kindergarten] educators." So **both** David's and Harrison's parents are kindergarten educators. (Parsing this is a bit ambiguous because of the otter transcription — but the most natural reading is that David's parents and Harrison's parents are both in kindergarten education, which is why Jacob predicts they'll click.) ## Possible originator of "wu wei disclosure" > "My friend gave a talk — he calls it the wu wei disclosure." Jacob doesn't name the friend. Harrison fits: - Same demographic / circle - Tooling- and frameworks-fluent (the term is framework-shaped) - Aligned with the engagement-vs-empowerment thesis Harrison has built around But this isn't confirmed. `confidence: medium` on the Harrison-coined-wu-wei-disclosure attribution. ## Related - [[Empowerment Algorithm App]] — sibling project - [[Wu Wei Disclosure]] — possibly originated by Harrison - [[Journeyman Model]] — Jacob wants Harrison to hear about this - [[David]] — Harrison and David are predicted to click
