Parrot Room: We Haven’t Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’
Mickey channels his inner Sylvia. Musk’s latest juvenile tweet. Is Mickey being sufficiently paranoid about his recent Twitter issues? PGA couldn’t beat LIV—and maybe can’t join them either. The next Saudi conquest. Mickey stumps Bob with an AI question. How does quantum computing work? Remembering Ed Fredkin and his digital physics theory. Remembering Daniel Ellsberg. How Trump could get off the hook. Harvard, the Inuit, and the Unabomber—Get the connection? A rationalist's irrational take on Epstein. An idea both Bob and Mickey can hate. Silo review drifts into riffs on Quincy Jones and Cynthia Weil. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and the constitution. Descents into dystopia. The scariest part of a classic sci-fi horror movie. Larry Summers and the weaponization of the dollar. Quo found in Biden Burisma scandal? RFK Jr. and Biden. Who the hell is PEN to chastise Elizabeth Gilbert? Mickey fails Carly Simon quiz.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
