  1. My conversation on history with Balaji Srinivasan - World Game

    Listen now (50 min) | I talked yesterday with Balaji Srinivasan. This is a rather focused conversation. The theme is history: what can we know about the history of the present moment, what is the final significance of our moment in history. We discuss two events I think we both agree have a claim to being considered the defining historical events of our lifetimes: Covid and crypto. Balaji tries to help us understand how they will look like in the fullness of time. Another way to put it: how will Covid and crypto be written about by historians decades into the future.

  2. 2: Towards A New Science of Progress with Jason Crawford

    Jason runs the blog RootsofProgress.org and is one of the leading luminaries in the emerging discipline of progress studies. Jason’s work at Roots of Progress centers around investigating the crucial technological innovations that have allowed us to come out of the depravity that characterized most of human existence up until very recently. We cover Jason’s views on why the study of human progress is a moral imperative, the prospects of long-term technological and economic stagnation, relatedly, whether all the long-hanging fruit in that regard has been picked, the stalling of important industries from pesticides, to nuclear power, and the relationship between the notion of progress, free will, and agency.
