Just one recommendation for you today: after a week off, my latest interview for Dialectic with one of my favorite people to talk about ideas, memes, content, creativity, markets, and speculation with.
Listen 🎧🎼: Dialectic Ep. 9: Jacob Horne
My latest is a conversation with Jacob Horne, co-founder and CEO of Zora. He’s spent his career thinking about how blockchains, tokens, markets, memes, and ideas enable internet-native coordination.
Jacob and Zora are building on Stewart Brand's premise that on the internet, "information wants to be free, but it also wants to be valuable." In an internet era where content is abundant and effectively free, it is also expensive to consume and create—not by way of money, but time.
Many people are frustrated with the state of crypto, memecoins, and broad “financialization” of seemingly everything. Rather than trying to put the genie back in the bottle, Jacob suggests that we use markets—as we have for decades across categories—to better coordinate around what information actually matters.
