[David Perell @david_perell]

Ocean Vuong is a poet, novelist, and professor at NYU.

This is the anti writing with AI conversation. It's about breaking free from technology and convention in order to see the world fresh again, and then make beautiful art about what you see.

Some highlights:

1) "We're out here to write sentences the species has never encountered, and it's possible in this lifetime."

2) "Eighty percent of writing is looking and thinking. The last part is syntax."

3) "When you have a sentence, what you really have is consciousness filtered through syntax. For every single person, it's different."

And below are all the things we talked about, in the form of timestamps:

1:40 Writing metaphors
4:52 The problem with writing workshops
13:02 How AI changed writing
23:32 Why did writing get so rigid?
28:04 Rescue the cliche!
32:06 Seeing vs. recognizing
34:37 80% of writing isn't writing
41:31 What makes sentences memorable
50:31 Poetry as a testing ground for writers
1:02:30 Synchronic vs diachronic reading
1:09:03 Daringness and disobedience
1:14:27 The limits of language

I've shared the full interview with Ocean below. If you'd rather watch on YouTube, or listen on Apple / Spotify, check out the reply tweets.
