Now that the book review contest is winding down, I want to start another big project: the ACX Reader Research Survey.
I used to do regular December surveys with questions I was interested in. Some people would ask me to include questions for their own research projects. I always declined, because if I said yes to everyone it would take a whole new survey to fit all the questions on. Eventually I realized I should actually just do the whole new survey, so this is that.
This blog has a lot of readers in in specific demographics,
like:
- the tech industry
- science
- involved in meditation/drugs/biohacking
- with unusual genders/sexualities
- with psychiatric issues
…so this would be a good way to learn about those demographics. The
main inspiration for this project was that meditation researcher
Daniel Ingram asked if he could piggyback on my yearly survey to
ask people about their meditation experiences, and although I was
excited about this I shut SSC down before we got a chance to make
this happen. This is for him and everyone else with similar
needs.
