Join Lens of Passion’s Social Community
The internet’s revolutionary power is the communication it empowers, but its current state of bickering and confirmation bias is antithetical to that. To avoid the conflicts of interest that cause other social products to make us less happy, productive and informed, SELECT was conceived with our incentives aligned – the best way to generate shared value is to make first and foremost value creation for users and their communities. To that end, we aim to drive a new humane era in Consumer Social that is about depth and intimacy, not social surface area (likes, followers, etc.).
Tattoo Artist, Luke Satoru shares evolution of a passion in the art-time continuum
On this platform, we try to examine the word passion and add fuel to our audience’s endeavor by showcasing people who have a distinct idea what it is for them. What does passion mean to you?

What color do you see when you hear passion?
It would be black. It’s the absorption or reflection of everything. Like a black hole…it consumes.
