Free Speech and Online Trolls

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.
