Thanks for the positive sentiment about the single dedicated person!

Just FYI, there's much more that Intentional Insights does than the click-bait stuff on Lifehack. We try to cover the whole range between CFAR's targeting of the top 5%, and ClearerThinking's targeting of techy young people in the coastal cities already interested in decision-making (the latter is from my conversations with Spencer Greenberg). We've been heavily orienting toward the skeptic/secular market as a start, and then right now are going into the self-improvement sector and also policy/politics commentary. We offer a wide variety of content, much of it higher-level than the self-improvement articles. I talk more about this topic in my comment about our strategy.

To be clear about taking money, Intentional Insights is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, not a for-profit company. The vast majority of our content is free, and we make our way mainly on donations.

P.S. Will keep in mind your preferences for a shirt. We currently have one that looks a lot like what you describe, here Can you let me know how that looks compared to your ideal?

Can you let me know how that looks compared to your ideal?

Colors: great.
(The grey-brown and pink versions are also okay. I guess any version other than white is okay.)
Font size: still too large.

By how many percent smaller would be good?

Two inches high at most. However, feel free to ignore me; I almost surely won't buy the shirt, and other people may have different preferences.

Anyway, this is off-topic, so I won't comment here about the shirts anymore.
