Tina He (@fakepixels) is a designer, entrepreneur, writer, New Yorker, philosopher, and above all, citizen of the internet. She leads developer tools at Base, which she joined via acquisition of her company, Station Labs. She's recommended more inspiring writing than anyone I know, and Tina lives with a seriousness and devotion that I admire deeply. Dialectic Ep. 5 is out now.

How does @fakepixels live in the philosophical world of ideas and the pragmatic world of action? "I think the philosophical side is about interpreting or seeing realities—plural, and the doer and operator side is about defining reality—singular. That is a very empowering idea."

Ava on taste: "To me like that's sort of the thing that's interesting like someone with a really interesting interior life." "They are alive in that." https://warpcast.com/jackson/0xa7dd5e4a

Ava is one of my favorite writers. She writes full-time for her Substack, Bookbear Express. In recent years, I'm not sure I've recommended anyone to friends and loved ones more, and it seems like the world agrees: she just crossed 30K subscribers. It was fun to read some excerpts back to her throughout the interview. We cover a ton of ground, including writing, consistency, commitment, friendship, authenticity, self-respect, taste, beauty, and much more. Enjoy! https://pods.media/dialectic/4-ava-alive-in-writing-and-in-love?referrer=0x9b902482E62Db8FC486C3f1acAA568006021DbEC

“I just think it's an undefeated trend that people want people to be inside their head." What's the killer app for today's AI models? @mhd says it's therapy. How might we reimagine therapy if it could be available to us at any time, with perfect memory, in any context—including a group chat? https://spoti.fi/495sT5X

"If you want to understand how something works, study it when it's coming apart." Everyone talks about being contrarian. @mhd suggests that alpha is actually about consistency in an area or field. "I think about consistency as actually the most contrarian thing that you could do." As others come and go and things rise and fall, you develop edge.

Really stoked with how this came out. The first half is a deep dive on Venture Capital and how to think about where science technology in markets intersect. Then we go deep on a wide range of topics, ranging from our constant state of future shock, to bio and longevity, to authenticity, inertia l, and craft. Enjoy!
