Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

/dialectic w/ Steph Ango (@kepano) is out now.

Steph is a designer, artist, entrepreneur, toolmaker, and CEO of 
/obsidian, the tool I use to write, think, and store my ideas.

This is a must-listen for any designer or creative person. We discuss constraints, style, principles, reduction, digital durability, investing time, choosing what to work on, compounding, patience, and communicating your ideas.

Steph has worked across mediums: hardware, software, industrial design, packaging, open-source, content, instruments, and more. He's a toolmaker first and foremost, and we talk about how creative constraints enable us to stoke the flame inside us.

Steph is a prolific writer whose clarity and concision inspire me, and we discuss many of his most empowering ideas.

I believe these ideas will challenge you in unexpected ways and push you to be more creative, agentic, and optimistic.

Steph Ango (@kepano)'s 'Stadium of selves':

"Let's say you live 80 years, and each new day is one person, it would fill up a stadium. 60K days in that stadium represent 60K people. And so, your current self—today's self— is on stage.

You're in the middle of the stadium and all of your past and future selves are sitting in the audience.

Anything I've ever really tried to create was for a version of myself."

I Took a Photo!

Hi Casters. I took a photo of Claes Oldenburg's "Standing Mitt with Ball" in the atrium of the Cleveland Museum of Art

Finally time to dive into code, my favorite part of the day!

Herd

I'm excited to announce I've started /herd to build the next-generation explorer that we all have really wanted (and needed).

It’s time to smarten up crypto agents and humans by dumbing down smart contracts.

Quite amusing that a year after I quit CT, Elon gave my account a Verified tick for free, and another year after that I still have that tick, for free. Surely, at some point they'll realise the account is inactive and take it back?
