About us
A group for thoughtful people navigating modern decision-making in a world full of noise, tools, systems, and overwhelm.
Led by Emily Pabst, ChoiceTech Consultant and Coach and founder of Remake The Rules, these gatherings explore how we make decisions—big and small—when we’re inundated with information, options, algorithms, and outdated advice.
This group is a space to slow down, think more clearly, and explore better ways of navigating modern life—without optimization culture, hustle rhetoric, or performative self-improvement.This group is for you if you’re:
- Tired of burnout cycles, app fatigue, or constant decision overwhelm
- Stuck between too many options and not enough movement
- Doing everything “right” on paper, but still feeling off
- Curious about decision-making, technology design, or systemic pressure
- Interested in understanding why things feel hard before trying to fix them
What We Explore Together
Meetups and discussions may touch on topics like:
- Decision fatigue & choice overload
- ChoiceTech (how apps, platforms, and tools shape decisions)
- App dysfunction and digital overwhelm
- Information overload in work, dating, and daily life
- Hybrid human-tech decision systems
- Choice inflation and disappearing defaults
- Making decisions with more confidence without chasing “perfect” outcomes
Events range from relaxed social gatherings to lightly structured discussions to educational lectures and workshops. Some events are monthly; others are occasional or quarterly.
The common thread: learning how to remake our decision-making for the world we’re actually living in.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, human-centered community that takes modern complexity seriously—this space is for you.

Featured event
Living with Choice Inflation | Workshop | Love in the Time of Dating Apps
Dating apps don’t just change who we meet, they change how we decide.
And why does deciding feel harder than it used to?
Across modern life, there are more decisions to make and each one seems to require more processing, more context, and more internal clarity before we feel justified in deciding.
This interactive workshop introduces the idea of choice inflation: a structural shift in which both the number of options and the effort required to evaluate them have expanded. While this affects work, relationships, and everyday life, dating apps make the phenomenon especially visible.
We’ll examine how weakened shared defaults and evolving technologies have are raising the cost of choosing and what changes when we can finally name what’s happening.
Buy-your-own ticket.
Sliding scale pricing $5-$35. Reserve your spot today.
Open to people of all orientations, identities, and dating goals.
This session is part of Love in the Time of Dating Apps, a multi-part series exploring modern dating through the lens of decision-making in the Information Age. Each session stands on its own, but together they offer a deeper framework for understanding why choosing can feel so draining, confusing, or effortful today.
This series is led by Emily Pabst, Choicetech Consultant and Coach and founder of Remake The Rules. Emily’s work focuses on helping people understand and actively shape how modern systems and technologies influence decision-making across dating, leading, and everyday life.
