But I just found it fairly mid. Not bad. Not great.

I'm really glad that we're using one of the most innovative economic tools in human history to debate whether or not Cardi B actually performed at a sporting event. Just like Robin Hanson intended.

I hate to say this but The Fall-Off was aptly named. Mid at best. Gave it a few listens and just couldn’t get there. The highs aren’t high. The lows aren’t low. And most of the songs are monotonous.

There’s been a lot of change in this space over the last couple of months. It’s easy to get cynical. Angry, even. To blame companies and people. To desire for escapism. To speak in absolutes. To think that the past X weeks, months, or years have been a waste of time. But it’s not productive. So leverage it inste...

Always reassuring that people I've worked with in the past want to figure out a way to work together again. Internet strangers (particularly those in the trenches) are a fickle bunch, but people who have seen my output and the work culture I build are the real test. Feeling energized and excited for what's next.
