an important component of marriage is clear communication

Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

I interviewed @yancey about why the 21st is on track to become the creative century.

Yancey Strickler co-founded Metalabel and Kickstarter, and has spent his life finding new ways to create and support artistic people.

We talked about how the modern world became individualistic and creative, and how the internet is changing how we relate to both.

Then, Yancey makes a case for creating in conversation and conspiracy with others, rather than alone—all in service of being a part of something bigger than ourselves.

Highlights:

- defense department seeding the word "creativity" and it entering the dictionary in the 60s

- the emergence of the "self-employed commercial expressor," a job that basically didn't exist 15 years ago

- what it looks to be an independent creator *and* be a part of a collective

- what it could look like for more people to make a living on the internet, rather than just a few people making a killing

- Artist Corps, Yancey's newest effor

the risk isn't being wrong. 

it's being right but not believing enough to commit.

Books

Initial Atlas Shrugged casting choices: 

Dagny: Eva Green. Who else? She is likely too old, but everyone else is so far a second we just need to have this moment for it to be her. 

Reardon: Luke Evans. Hemsworth has the acting chops but he is just too pretty for the grit. Skarsgard would have been excellent on intensity, but otherwise not physically grounded enough. Fassbender if all else fails. 

D'Arconia:  Oscar Isaac. period.

shill me your fighting responses, let’s hear it.

Pedro Pascal would be a great D'Arconia. 

Rebecca Ferguson also feels like the right Dagny cast for the moment. 

Alfie Allen as Jim Taggart. 

Would move Isaac to Reardon and John David Washington as Galt.

I’m excited about AI precisely because it will devalue the human mind

Who cares if it’s reasoning or not — we just need it to replicate the output of thought sufficiently well (which it will be able to, since the realm of thought is limited)

Then we can be freed up to do something much closer to being — feel

possibly the most important cast of the week

Thinking about coins on a Sunday. 

Many go up, most fall just as quickly. 

Stigma still around (and rightfully so!) -- too difficult for noobs to grok what's going on. 

Products will fix this, but for now warnings go a long way.

story

Storytime today is about the time I smoked crack just to prove a point. 

When I was 12 my friends started drinking. Alcoholism runs in my family a bit and even as a kid I really didn't want to go down that road. I don't really remember too much peer pressure but when I was 14 or 15 I found straight edge punk and suddenly not drinking or doing drugs was part of my identity.

i commit to getting a great saturday arm workout.

Standing cable curls (arms behind) - 3x10
Machine dips - 3x10
Standing cable curls (arms in front) - 3x10
Cable Tricep push downs (easy bar) - 3x10
DB Hammer curls - 3x10
Cable skull crushers - 3x10
