Apps are testing the parallels between finding a date and a roomie.

Whoomies isn't really like Tinder, but it's among a slew of apps that have sprung up in the past five years that use the swipe feature as a gateway drug for those accustomed to the functionality of the world's best-worst dating app. The only difference is you won’t find a hookup. Instead, they're promising to use artificial intelligence to find you a roommate or a place to live.

Lynn Teague, the lobbyist for the League of Women Voters in South Carolina, uses a moderate tone to score major wins at the ballot box.

When Lynn Teague was the repatriation coordinator at the Arizona State Museum, she had to navigate the competing interests of 21 Native American tribes and their sacred duty to the dead, and private land owners, which included developers and mining companies. It was Teague’s job as an archaeologist to thread a needle when it came to ownership of artifacts and access to burial grounds.

“I was often dealing with multiple claimants with varying degrees of willingness to work together,” says Teague.

If that doesn’t sound like her current mission in politics, what does?

Teague, 71, is the legislative lobbyist for the South Carolina League of Women Voters. In an era of fiercely opposed political tribes, the League’s soul is nonpartisan — and its good-government advocacy gets results.

As our jobs continue to evolve thanks to technology, will it get even harder to find meaning at work?

What is the best way to find meaning at work? It’s a question for the ages and one that will become even more important in the years ahead. This season on The Future of X podcast, OZY has explored how closely the future workplace will be tied to the future of technology. In the latest episode, we focus on the psychology of the future workplace and the quest for meaning.

For many of us, our jobs are invariably tied to who we are as people, says Adam Grant, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania specializing in organizational psychology, and so it is quite natural that we look for meaning there. And meaning, he says, can’t come from a paycheck alone. “I don’t think the pay is something you offer and motivate someone. I think it’s something you offer to show people how valued they are.”
