This week I chat to Eigenrobot, prolific poster, podcaster, and unofficial king of post-rationalism (whatever we finally decided that is).
We chat about:
Having babies, making families and community work
What leads to low trust societies and the drifting away from high trust in the west
"The conservation of suffering"
What is post-rationalism?
The American Cultural Empire and its consequences
Preference Cascades and how everything can change overnight
Echo chambers and internet hyperreality
The Scott Alexander witch hunt
Is there a real marketplace of ideas?
Wokeness as an ethical-managerial superstructure that will be hard to dismantle
Podcasting with friends
Eigen's recommended subversive thinker is medieval philosopher and theologian Peter (Pierre) Abelard and his book "Sic et Non"
You can find his work on Twitter, at @eigenrobot
