Pessimism, Xrisk, Dissensus, and Sailing Adventures, a Flotilla Chat | Episode 16
When Matt emailed me out of the blue to tell me he thought I was pessimistic and that he disagreed with several of the things Iâve said on the podcast, I knew we had to talk. We discuss:
- pessimism
- xrisk, including AI, his interest,
- risk at the scale of the personal life, and why Matt chose to introduce risk into his life,
- the lifeboat flotilla,
- dissensus,
- and more.
