Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Practical Idealism: He repeatedly argues for realistic reforms and coalition-building — for example, 'It is still a fever dream that ROAD to housing exists... Turns out it isn't totally impossible to come together on good ideas!' shows hopeful realism.
- Analytic Rigor: He cites concrete data and process failure points like '469 large renewable projects... only ONE of them has actually been approved', demonstrating attention to empirical detail.
- Institutional Focus: He champions government capacity and hiring ('Hiring more people and better people makes the government work so much better'), signaling a systems-level mindset.
- Connector: He curates writing series and student groups ('Keep your eye on Hypertext...' and 'Students for Abundance'), showing he links people and ideas.
- Communicative: He explains wonky topics in public threads and tweets frequently, like when he frames abundance for broader audiences ('What is abundance, and why do we need the next generation...'), so he can make complex ideas accessible.
Weaknesses:
- Technocratic Tilt: His heavy emphasis on institutional fixes and process (e.g., 'Governing by exception just creates kludge, it's time to fix the PRA') can underweight emotional, cultural, or political storytelling that moves voters.
- Policy Jargon: Frequent references to acronyms and insider terms ('PRA', 'interconnection queues', 'Certificate of Need') might alienate non-wonk audiences who don't share that language.
- Optimist Bias: His persistent faith in doable reforms ('Turns out it isn't totally impossible to come together on good ideas!') could understate entrenched political resistance in some contexts.
- Discursive Focus: He sometimes debates fine-grained tradeoffs publicly ('Amid the twitter snipes between abundance and antitrust...'), which can make compromises harder and feed public factionalism.
- Fixation on Systems: His focus on system-level bottlenecks (e.g., residency caps, AMA influence) may occasionally miss immediate human stories that generate popular urgency about problems.
Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
Lisa matches Matthew because she’s the show’s policy-minded, earnest reformer who cares about institutions and evidence; Matthew likewise focuses on concrete policy levers (housing, healthcare, state capacity) and often takes the moral high ground in wonky terms. Both mix a desire to do good with intellectual arguments rather than performative gestures, and both can feel frustrated when others ignore structural fixes.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTJ
ENTJ fits because Matthew shows extraverted leadership (organizing Hypertext, Students for Abundance, and public policy campaigns: 'Keep your eye on Hypertext...'), intuitive strategic thinking (big-picture focus on abundance, growth, and systemic blockers: 'The abundance argument has never been that special interests don't matter, it's that there are MANY special interests'), thinking-driven analysis (data and process critique like '469 large renewable projects... only ONE of them has actually been approved'), and judging preferences for planning and implementation (pushing permitting reform, PRA fixes, and staffing solutions: 'Governing by exception just creates kludge, it's time to fix the PRA' and 'Hiring more people and better people makes the government work so much better'). These patterns show a decisive, agenda-setting organizer who wants systems built and scaled.
Some pickup lines for you
- Are you zoning reform? Because you just made space in my heart where I thought it was impossible to build.
- If you curated a playlist called 'Hypertext of Love,' I’d subscribe and show up to every discussion — want to co-host chapter one?
- You must be a transmission line, because whenever you're near I feel the spark to build something big.
- Call me a 'big beautiful bill' — I want your name on me and to pass you through every committee of my heart.
- I’ll be your Students for Abundance chapter president if you promise to mentor me over coffee (and policy papers).
Your 5 Emojis
Your new Twitter bio
Policy lead at @NiskanenCenter — building the Abundance agenda for housing, health, energy, and state capacity. Curator of Hypertext, mentor to Students for Abundance, and occasional author of 'big beautiful bills.' Long on ideas, short on NIMBYism. DMs open for collaboration.– @Matthew_Meyers5
Your signature cocktail
The Abundance Spritz
The 'Abundance Spritz' is clean, slightly floral, and efficient — much like Matthew’s policy style. Gin and tonic keep it classic and pragmatic (his respect for proven government instruments), elderflower adds a bright, optimistic lift (his faith in abundance and better futures), lemon gives the necessary tart corrective (his critiques of regulatory bottlenecks like 'residency caps'), and cucumber keeps it refreshing, fit for long planning sessions or curating essays for Hypertext.
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw fits because Matthew prioritizes ideas, analysis, and inventive problem-solving over theatrics. He talks about hiring better people and state capacity ('Hiring more people and better people makes the government work so much better') and curates intellectual forums ('Keep your eye on Hypertext for six great essays'), which align with Ravenclaw’s love of learning and thoughtful strategy. His repeated data-driven critiques — for example pointing out '469 large renewable projects... only ONE of them has actually been approved' — show the puzzle-solving bent Ravenclaws prize. He’s less about brash heroics and more about clever institutional work.
Your movie
Your song
Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac
The chorus 'Don't stop thinking about tomorrow' dovetails with Matthew’s abundant, forward-looking politics and his emphasis on giving young people reason to be optimistic ('The saddest part of this is the age breakdown. Young people should be the MOST optimistic about the possibilities ahead of them'). The song’s upbeat, pragmatic optimism mirrors his message that building tangible things (housing, energy, state capacity) can change futures.
