Erik is joined on this episode by Noah Tye (@noahlt), developer and a very interesting thinker on Twitter.
They talk about:
- Noah’s advice on taking advice, including why “people give others the advice that they themselves need.”
- The importance of journaling and how to deal with emotions.
- Why he keeps an anticipation journal.
- The difference between burnout and overwork, and their relationship to depression.
- What it means to “shrink the quantum of experience.”
- What happened when Noah gathered a bunch of contrarians for a dinner party and how it informed how he views the roots of contrarianism.
- Why it’s important to be nice, contrary to the popular view of the “asshole genius” in tech.
