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gatherings explore how we make decisions—big and small—when we’re inundated with information, options, algorithms, and outdated advice.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.

The Rise of Choicetech | Workshop | Love in the Time of Dating Apps
Dating apps don’t just change who we meet, they change how we decide.
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.

Sliding scale pricing $5-$35. Reserve your spot today.
About This Workshop
As uncertainty has become a defining condition of modern life, we’ve increasingly turned to technology to help us manage both information and choice. Choicetech refers to tools and systems designed to structure decision-making under conditions of complexity and uncertainty, by filtering, ranking, pacing, and framing information so choices feel more manageable.
This session explores the rise of choicetech as both a response to and a driver of the Information Age. Using dating apps as a familiar, concrete example, we’ll look at how these systems shape what we see, what we ignore, what feels meaningful, and how quickly we’re pushed to decide. Rather than framing dating apps as “good” or “bad,” the focus is on understanding how choicetech influences perception, evaluation, and timing.
This is an educational, interactive conversation about the systems we’re dating inside and what changes when we can finally see them more clearly.
Who This Is For
- People currently using dating apps
- People thinking about using online dating
- Anyone curious about how technology shapes everyday decision-making
This event is intentionally dating-goal, orientation, and identity agnostic. The focus is on how decisions are shaped, not what you should want or aim for.
What to Expect
- A grounded, nerdy, and accessible presentation
- Interactive moments to reflect privately on your own experience
- A realistic but ultimately hopeful perspective
Tickets available on Remake The Rules, $5-$35.
