On Episode 92 I had the pleasure of speaking with Max Sklar. He's a software engineer, with a focus on machine learning, content discovery, and Bayesian inference - all of which we talk about during his episode. He's also the host of The Local Maximum podcast.
Max's podcast appeals to me because it touches on a wide array of complex topics in nuanced, digestible ways. Like the intricacies of intellectual property or quantum computing, even the faults of and potential fixes for US Constitution. Max has a seemingly insatiable curiosity, an addiction to learning new things, and he's a generous host. So it was an honor to be his guest on The Local Maximum, and I'd like to share our conversation with you. We went to some provocative and at times deeply personal places - parts of my story I've never discussed this in-depth before. So I hope you enjoy our chat, and I highly recommend checking out additional episodes of The Local Maximum, available on your podcast player of choice, and at localmaximum.substack.com.

Imagine it's 2017. You've been given the task of running a presidential campaign for 2020. Your candidate has no previous political experience and zero name recognition with the public. You must get them on stage at the first Democratic primary debate on June 27th, 2019. Not only that, you have to get them to the debates 6 more times, so that they're one of only seven candidates left on stage in a race that will ultimately field 29 contenders. Helluva long shot, right? But former presidential campaign manager Zach Graumann did exactly that, and wrote a behind-the-scenes book that serves as a how-to guide for tomorrow's hopefuls looking to bet against the odds.

When was the last time you got a little bit wild? Stayed out later than you should have, drank a bit too much, made out with an absolute stranger or did a ton of illicit drugs and trespassed on federal property? "Wild" is subjective, and comedian Rocky Powell hosts a podcast that invites guests to define the word however they see fit - with outrageous, scandalous, ridiculous, and even poignant results.

Have you ever wondered why the decisions you make keep leaving you unfulfilled? How you'll doggedly pursue something - a career, a relationship, some Big Life Goal - and once you've finally got it, you find yourself underwhelmed? Like you keep aiming your bow at a target, but even when you hit dead center it still feels like you missed. You're not alone. Author Luke Burgis provides insight into why our wants so often lead us astray, and how we may harness that knowledge to desire differently.

"Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." That works well enough as a piece of proverbial wisdom, but global seafood consumption today is roughly 160 million tons per year. So ensuring that our global fish populations remain sustainable into the future isn't some leisurely thought experiment, it's a pressing issue to be solved. And that doesn't even address other troubling factors affecting this ecosystem, like harmful micro-plastics and mercury. But what if we could harvest fish without fisheries? What if we could make real, authentic, delicious salmon... from stem cells? Justin Kolbeck is the cofounder of Wildtype, a company on a mission to create the cleanest, most sustainable seafood on the planet - inside of a high-tech lab in San Francisco.

And so over time the collection becomes a kind of map, that traces the twists and curves of an ever-evolving through-line of inspiration and introspection. Musician Joe Sumner takes a brief break from his tour to reflect on his music career, and the interwoven intersections of his life and his art.

What if you could suddenly understand every language on earth? Identify any object or living thing around you with nothing but a glance? See exactly how a new outfit might look on your body before trying on a single piece of clothing? What if you could customize your entire life the way you would your living room? Ambient and spatial computing expert David Rose bears the good news of the coming augmented reality revolution, and tackles some of the hazards that may occur when we can all create our own, individually-tailored worlds.

The world of comics is as vast as it is diverse. From colorful, fanciful stories geared toward children to gritty, realistic artwork crafted for more a mature crowd, if it can be drawn, there's an audience for it. But what motivates an artist to pursue a particular style or genre? To put it another way: What draws them to it? Comic artist Barry Deutsch shares how he became passionate about cartooning, and why he creates comics about communities that are often overlooked and underserved.

More than 1 in 3 Americans - roughly 38% - are having difficulty meeting their basic needs each month. You may be one of them, or know someone who is. Or you don't know, because they're hiding it from you. Regardless, the number remains: 123 million people. Broke in America authors Joanne Samuel Goldblum and Colleen Shaddox believe it doesn't have to be this way, and they're ready to prove their case.

History is only a story. Events happen. People exist. But how and why we talk about them and what we decide to study is a matter of choice. It's completely up to us. And that's the story. Dr. Anika Prather helps students of all backgrounds reexamine assumptions we often make about history, in order to reframe it in a healthier, more inclusive, and more accurate way.

How exactly am I able to communicate with you? We're not in the same room - we're likely not even in the same state. And if my listener stats are accurate - 30% of you reading this right now live in a completely different country! So... how did we get here? What makes the world modern - technologically, socially, morally - is often under-appreciated, but the history of the modern world is a history of progress. The Roots of Progress founder Jason Crawford believes that understanding that history is key to empowering the next generation to progress ever further.

How do you process your pain? We all experience traumas - big and small - over the course of our lives. And we all deal with them differently. A painful event can often feel like a physical location - a topography stretching out ahead that needs to be traversed. Some may sprint across the landscape while others crawl - I've sometimes found myself believing I've covered real distance, only to realize I've been walking in circles. But the journey - however it is made - is a substantial one. Writer and documentary filmmaker Jay Shapiro opens up about how he has managed - and manages - his terrain.

This is a special episode of The New Liberals. We've recorded 45 episodes since the show began on September 29th, 2020. As we move on to an exciting new chapter of the show, it felt like the right time to take a moment and look back on where we've been so far.
At the end of every show I've asked each guest the same, final question. And they've each provided an answer - sometimes surprising, sometimes enlightening, and always unique. This is a compilation of all 45 of those answers, back-to-back.
Thank you for listening to The New Liberals. I am so grateful to the guests who have joined us, and shared their knowledge, time, and empathy. And I am grateful to you for supporting the show.
Wherever we go next, may we forever be liberal with our good will, liberal in our capacity for friendly disagreement, and liberal in our willingness to change our minds, when we feel justly convinced.

When we think of news reporting, what may immediately come to mind is the highly produced, frequently editorialized content that we consume via our mainstream media. But the on-the-ground footage contained in those edited segments - of speeches, rallies, protests, riots, and more - is often captured in whole by independent journalists who see a fuller, more complicated picture than the one the general public is shown. Independent news videographer Ford Fischer goes in-depth on what he's witnessed and learned covering some of America's most tumultuous and historic events of the last several years.

We all possess multiple identities. You are both a brother and a son. A daughter and a mother. Chinese, and American, and Asian. Gay, and Polyamorous. The combinations are nearly endless. And these identities are not always in parallel. They do not necessarily exist in harmony with one another. Sometimes - often - there is tension. Writer Tomiwa Owolade explores the conflicting and even discomforting intersections of identity, and the importance of embracing that tension.

Much of what we perceive is subjective. When you and I look at a text, a film, a painting - we carry the weight of our experiences with us into that encounter. So what happens when we look at the same exact thing in radically different ways? Which interpretation takes precedent, and why? Lawyer turned writer David Lat explores how clashing perspectives are roiling one of our nation's most prestigious universities.

Imagine you're in a courtroom. You've been charged with a crime and the verdict has now been decided by the jury: "Guilty." The judge offers you two choices: Go to prison for five years, or immediately receive ten lashes and walk free. Which option do you choose? If you chose the lashes, you're not alone. Criminology professor and former Baltimore police officer Peter Moskos has written a book arguing against the unconsidered cruelty of prison sentences, and uses this very hypothetical to make his case.

What does it mean to be vulnerable at scale? To go out on a limb and lay bare not just one's opinions, but the private details of a life? The most effective political writing often exists at the intersection of quantitative data and personal anecdote. A writer's argument - if it is to convince - must accurately speak to the external reality we all share while inviting us to understand the author's internal experience that provides the emotional anchor. Writer and political commentator Andrew Sullivan has gathered his essays from the last 31 years - a record of joys, sorrows, missteps and victories - all written down, in public.

“Black” is not a synonym for “poor.” But one could be forgiven for thinking that it were based on the way so many people talk about race in this country. The majority of Black Americans are in the middle class or above, yet the national imagination often seems to struggle to reflect this reality. And those who are living in poverty are often the last ones to tell their own stories. Bertrand Cooper writes about the importance of being accurate in our descriptions of our impoverished communities, and the need for representation that reflects the nuances of class that exist within this thing we call "race."

When was the last time you were really, truly curious about something? Something new, different, foreign, uncomfortable, even? And not just a passing glance, or a quick perusal, but a deep, active interest that takes you places you never thought you'd go? Director of Digital & Storytelling at Braver Angels Mónica Guzmán believes that for us to better understand our world and each other we must be intentionally, proactively curious.

Policing - as both an action and a concept - has been on the front page and at the front of many of our minds over the last several years, as we've reexamined our assumptions around its utility and purpose. When is law enforcement actually needed? When does it go too far? And what does good policing look like? Criminology professor and former Baltimore police officer Peter Moskos has combined his academic training with on-the-ground experience to try and answer those very questions.

The first episode of The New Liberals was recorded just over a year ago. We've talked about a range of subjects since then - from nuclear power, to mRNA vaccines, from Maslow's hierarchy of needs to Montessori's method, just to name a few. But a recurring theme of the podcast - guest after guest - has been identity. How do we understand ourselves and how do we understand one another? How do we create a diversity that strives for common ground while respecting the very things that make us who we are? How do we speak truth to the power of our ego when it threatens to get in the way of progress? Bestselling author and founder of the Moral Courage Project Irshad Manji shows others how to have the courage to do exactly that.

Should a storyteller's identity define what stories they're allowed to tell? Does our sex, race, or sexuality set the boundaries around either the fictions we can dream up or the nonfictions we investigate and explore? Filmmaker Nadia Gill is speaking out against a worrying trend within her industry that suggests storytelling might be better off if we all simply kept to "our own."

Being a "heterodox thinker" often involves being exceedingly content with a whole bunch of people disliking you. Sometimes it's people to the Right of you, then people to the Left, and folks who were your strongest allies two days ago may suddenly hate your guts next Thursday. This is not to say that people who are consistently in one camp aren't principled - far from it. It's more that all of that "going against the grain-ing" can be rather... draining. Author and podcast host Meghan Daum shares what drives her to keep speaking about so many unspeakable things.

It's good to push yourself to think differently - to reexamine your priors, question your beliefs, and change your mind. But it's not enough to switch from Right to Left, or Left to Right, or from Heterodox Pepsi to Heterodox Coke. Introspection is a train without a station - something that should keep going. Writer and YouTube host Brittany Talissa King returns to discuss the sometimes difficult but rewarding task of remaining a work in progress.

While the United States is now recovering from a year of death, disease, and economic destruction, we still don't know exactly where or how Covid-19 actually began.

Have you ever found yourself so gripped in the throes of a conflict - with a friend, a family member, some stranger online - that you're blinded by a kind of rage that feels like it could overtake you at any moment? Have you found yourself questioning the other person's sanity, baffled as to why they would ever believe what they believe? Then you've experienced what is known as High Conflict. Bestselling author and investigative journalist Amanda Ripley has spent the last several years figuring out why we get trapped in this kind of conflict, and how we can work together to find our way out.

What does it mean to have luck? Good luck, or bad? Is luck something that only happens selectively, or is our entire existence a kind of luck that we've had zero control over? And if that's true - what does it mean for our society? What does it say about our educational system, our criminal justice system, and how we treat and empathize with each other? What does it mean for our world if all of us are exactly where we are due only to pure chance? Aaron Rabinowitz, host of the Embrace the Void podcast, grapples with the philosophical and moral implications of that hypothesis.

How do we define our "tribes"? That's a word that gets thrown around a lot these days - political tribes, ideological tribes, religious tribes, national tribes... it's just tribalism all the way down. Tribalism, factionalism - whatever you want to call "strong loyalty to one's own social group" - has been with us forever, and we'll never be rid of it. But we can redefine and expand our tribes to include more people, and decrease the animosity we may feel toward our "outgroups." Writer and filmmaker Jay Shapiro has been thinking a great deal about how to do just that.

How often do you think about how you access the internet? Not in the general sense, but the actual act of accessing it: the descriptive text you read underneath an item for sale, the buttons you click or tap to signal an intent or complete an action, or an input field to type a credit card number, select a country or state, or scroll through a set of dates. This is the stuff that, for many of us, fades away as we aimlessly look at memes or news stories. But it's important. Vital, even. Jennison Asuncion, LinkedIn's Head of Accessibility Engineering Evangelism, dedicates his time to ensuring that the digital world is accessible to everyone.

If there's anything we've learned over the last year, it's that it's not enough to get important information right - you have to communicate that information successfully, too. Because if the data you need to share isn't being heard by the very people that need to hear it, it may as well not exist! Social media consultant and communication specialist Sarah Mojarad teaches and advocates for effective science messaging.

How do you know what's true, and what's false? What's right, or wrong? How do you know... what you know? You likely heard all of it somewhere, and for you to hear it, somebody had to say it. Because for us to be able to figure out what's true - in order to form a more perfect union - we must be able to speak with one another, freely. Greg Lukianoff, President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, fights against speech restrictions being enacted in the very institutions that should be bastions of free expression.

The vaccines are here, and they're amazing. But there's still so much pessimism and confusion about how effective these vaccines actually are, which ones are "best," and what anyone can actually do after they've been vaccinated. This is a special episode, to get you justifiably excited about the rest of the year, and your life going forward. Share it with friends and family who are doubtful or scared, because Dr. Monica Gandhi, Professor of Medicine and Associate Chief in the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine at UCSF, has the credentials and the knowledge required to prescribe some much-needed optimism.

These days, when we hear the phrase "growing up," it tends to mostly reference the growth in inches and feet. But for a child to a grow up, they don't just need to physically grow, they need to grow mentally and emotionally as well. The recent cultural normalization of what is colloquially referred to as "helicopter parenting" has brought with it ever-hovering adults and minute-by-minute-scheduled weekdays and weekends, which have significantly stunted that growth. Lenore Skenazy, Co-founder and President of Let Grow, shares both data and anecdotes that help to illustrate exactly why children need the freedom to grow independent.

Children need adults. They need them for guidance, for discipline, for inspiration, and of course, formal education. But often when we talk about education, our attention is almost exclusively focused on those adults. What are they doing right? What are they doing wrong? What are they doing too much or too little of, and how can we stop them? And we too often lose sight of how the children are actually performing. Michaela Community School founder and headmistress Katharine Birbalsingh shares how her staff have gone about providing underserved children the ability to change their stars.

In John Rawls' 1971 book, A Theory of Justice, he offers a thought experiment known as the Veil of Ignorance. Behind this veil, no knows who they are. They don't know their race, class, age, sex, privileges, disadvantages, or even their personality. Only once they step through the veil will they know their place in society. But before they take that step, they are tasked with designing it - its laws and its structures, its benefits and punishments. Imagine yourself behind the veil. How would you construct the world, if you weren't sure of your own place within it? Samuel Weiss, Executive Director of Rights Behind Bars, has a deep understanding of what certain corners of our society look like when that veil goes unconsidered.

Social distancing has separated us from the ones we care about, and cut us off from the day-to-day lives we've so long known. The mental and emotional toll of this prolonged isolation has been excruciating for many. But can we find a silver lining? May we use this time to become better friends and better partners, even fuller versions of ourselves? Humanistic psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman offers insight into how we may overcome life's struggles through continued growth and even, potentially, transcendence.

Society has got you figured out: they talk about you like they know you, like you're part of a collective. They take a group, and pair it with either an adjective or a noun. "White this." "Black that." There's too many of "you," and too few of "them." You talk like this long enough, and it can be easy to slip into a way of thinking about other people that makes them sound so different from you, and you lose sight of the fact that they're really... not. Motivational speaker and author Rahmaan Mwongozi has written extensively about his journey to discovering our human commonalities.

Why does nothing seem to make sense, anymore? Why do all of our important words seem so slippery, and our definitions ever harder to define? What is a liberal? What really is a conservative? And what does 'liberalism' - the philosophy that undergirds the foundation of American society - actually mean today? Writer and filmmaker Jay Shapiro has spent much of his life trying to figure out society's most confounding dilemmas.

Racism is real. Its devastating historical effects can still be felt today, and the misguided and harmful beliefs that we've inherited from previous generations can have a profound impact on how we see and treat one another. The anti-racist movement is a response to these injustices, and anti-racism training has sprung up across private and public businesses. But is there only one way to do anti-racism training, or to be anti-racist? Theory of Enchantment founder Chloé Valdary has spent the last several years developing a compassionate alternative.

America isn't just a geographical location, or a mass of 330 million people living within a set of lines drawn on a map. America is the story it tells itself about itself. And adding new chapters feels natural enough - time marches forward, and so does a story. But what happens if, while expanding the scope of what's in front of us, we narrow the scope of what came before? Geneticist and cultural commentator Razib Khan shares how America's rich, complicated, and multi-ethnic history is at risk of being flattened by modern narratives.

What if I told you that sometimes, being polite does more harm than good? That the niceties we use to grease the wheels of our daily interactions can actually hurt the very people we want to help, and slow the pace of progress?

Our national conversation around childhood education usually revolves around or devolves into a sort of generic bifurcation of public vs private. But only when we really break a topic down into its constituent parts can we begin to see it more clearly. So what educational method might work best? Ray Girn and Matt Bateman of Higher Ground Education believe that the method they practice will best equip children to flourish as adults.

The working and wealthy classes in America are further apart than they've been in 60 years. Wages, wealth generation, savings - these are the obvious ones, but marriage stability and self-reported rates of wellbeing are also way down for blue collar Americans. "Deaths of despair" - from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism - number 150,000 a year, nearly all of them concentrated in working class communities. And many of these problems begin in childhood and compound into adulthood. What's causing so many of our children to fall so far behind, and why do today's elite seem to care so little? Writer and researcher Rob Henderson has experience living in both worlds, and has dedicated much of his time to finding the answers.

If you were tasked with summing up the worldview of 50 million people, could you do it? Sounds a little ridiculous, right? Well, there are just about 50 million people in the "Black Community" in the United States, and it's not uncommon for Americans to speak about this "community" as if they had a single, unified voice. But that sort of language leaves a lot of worthwhile perspectives out of the conversation. Writer and journalist Brittany Talissa King shares her story of embracing the complex and often contradictory opinions that can exist within any "community."

If you've ever stopped yourself from saying something that you know is pretty innocuous, then you've experienced the chilling effect of a phenomenon known as "cancel culture." But what can happen when we stand up for the ability to think freely? And how can we improve our discourse so that all of us can feel comfortable speaking - and changing - our minds? Writer and musician Angel Eduardo has experience doing both.

Humans are natural-born story machines. And those stories - those narratives - can help bring us closer together, or push us further apart. Today is Election Day, and we seem more divided than we have in a long time, largely because we can't seem to agree on a shared story. So how can we find one? Is that even possible? Shaun Cammack of The Narratives Project has some special insights on the power and pliability of our cultural and political narratives.

When we discuss groups of people, we often speak in terms of data - polls, graphs, percentages - and while this can offer us insight on the macro level, it leaves a lot of valuable, relevant information out. We're more than numbers, after all - we're individuals! So how can we temper our data sets with our personal, lived experiences? Professor and researcher Roderick Graham offers up a way to strike a balance.
