Daniel Debow (@ddebow), an entrepreneur and musician, shows his new instrument in public for the first time in this episode. It’s a campfire instrument designed so that anyone can learn to play songs in under an hour. His argument is that most people who try to learn music don’t quit because they lack talent. They quit because instruments like the guitar and piano make beginners practice for a long time before they can play a single song. He explains how his team built an alternative. Four finger shapes cover most pop songs, magnets vibrate a piece of tonewood instead of a speaker, and a metronome pulses on your lap so you can feel the beat. The second half is about Canada. @internetvin says he has felt out of place in Canada since he was a kid, and that he measures progress against Shenzhen, which went from a fishing village to one of the most advanced cities in the world in about 50 years. He argues that the current changes, like trading with more countries than the US, are basic systems design and not enough. Daniel says Canadians who feel this way can leave, as many have, complain, or build something, and he makes the case for building. Along the way they talk about how Geary Avenue in Toronto grew into a music scene out of cheap rent and a zoning loophole, how Daniel started Build Canada by publishing dozens of policy papers the way you’d publish content online, and how the Overton window shifts. The Other Stuff is hosted by @internetvin, filmmaker and entrepreneur and possibly the most curious man on Earth. Produced by New.

Last night, a Rabbi was attacked in Boro Park and a Yeshiva student was chased by a knife-wielding man screaming “Heil Hitler” in Crown Heights. I’m appalled by these horrific antisemitic acts. Brooklyn must be safe for all – we cannot tolerate attacks on our Jewish neighbors.
