Hmm...paywalled but listened to Mears' interview with Tyler Cowen (below). Excited to check out her book.

the post references this vid of Real Parasaurolophus Calls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtpSOpUDCb8

not loud or anything but spooked my cat

Great post -- re: exploring new vocabularies, Ted Gioia touched on this in regards to cultivating music taste which I found helpful.

"So what you need to do, if you really want to broaden your horizons as a listener, is to get exposed to new things. Pick somebody. [...] Find somebody who you trust as a guide, and let them open your ears to these new experiences."

So what's the best way to find new guides?

Similar outlook expressed by Naval Ravikant recently as well:

Tangent but this made me wonder if there are any pack-hunting birds. Apparently so:

Congrats! Found this to be a thought-provoking read: http://delian.io/lessons-3

Denial of Death by Ernest Becker is a great read.

Curious how Quibi comes into play with short-form.

Have also noticed Fox Searchlight has been recently acquiring short films out of the past few film fests. Believe they're making those avail on their YouTube channel.

Agreed -- makes me think of the Fleabag example.

Think it's much easier for people to consume 25min chunks across 2 seasons (6 episodes each) than a full-length film.

Good read - Jenkins' commentary especially

Matthew Ball's Netflix series is a great companion: https://redef.com/original/netflix-misunderstandings-pt-1-ne...

Love Mary Gaitskill -- believe this essay was included in her collection "Somebody with a Little Hammer".

Would recommend along with "Bad Behavior" and "The Mare."

Great deck from a former Uber Eats employee on food delivery: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1v9ifaW1Sxy_oVUtzn63B...

Great distillation of the internet's effect on business, education and politics.

Perell references Martin Gurri and Ben Thompson throughout. Going to dig in to Gurri as I'm not as familiar.

Alex Danco's series on Understanding Abundance is probably a good reference point as well.
