Robert Wright's Nonzero (private feed for eveningglass@gmail.com)
Society & Culture:Philosophy
The DeSantis launch snafu. Can Twitter Spaces outdo Clubhouse? New details on the Tucker sacking saga. Mickey’s reputation doesn’t precede him—and that’s a good thing! Simply the best of Tina Turner (and the worst of Ike). Why viewers shouldn’t go bananas over Bob’s 12 Monkeys blunder. When magazines mattered. Going down the Epstein-Gates rabbit hole. Is AI coming for your organs? A singularity/Fermi paradox grand unified theory. Debating Soul. The two Dunes: Which is harder to watch? The fine line between fantasy and reality (and sex and disgust). Disney’s media treatment. Bob’s days as a Bloggingheads celeb. Why AI is more than a “stochastic parrot.” Psychic shocks of the 60’s. What Ben Smith’s takedown of Mickey has to do with millennial ennui. Should Bob and Mickey do Hollywood? Hoover’s non-cancellation and other miscarriages of justice.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
