A wide-ranging conversation with Rus Yusupov, the creator of Vine and HQ Trivia, exploring life as an artist, technologist, and entrepreneur.

We covered a lot, including: 

• The similarities between designing apps and roller coasters
• Vine’s origin story and why Tiktok “did it better”
• The web as an infinite canvas and launchpad for creators
• Social networks as countries
• Software’s ability to alter consciousness and support human flourishing
• Psychedelics for thinking in systems
• How dreams are more like cinema than reality
• The influence of New York on creativity
• and a bunch more
