Last fall @rootsofprogress invited me to give a talk on what's wrong with the news and what we can do about it. Thanks so much to @jasoncrawford and the team for the opportunity!
Why is the news cynical, simplistic, certain, and scared? And how do we fix it? Freethink Media co-founder @ChandlerTuttle proposes a way forward at the @rootsofprogress conference. Timestamps: 0:00 - Modern media 1:00 - What’s wrong with the news? 2:29 - Fundamental questions…
Some people think post-scarcity means that no labor will be required. This is wrong. Post-scarcity means nothing is scarce, that everyone has sufficiency to meet their desires. Including their desire for purposeful work. Not a world of endless leisure.
Had a mentor tell me once: "When you're feeling overwhelmed, there are only two things you should do... get organized and get to work. The rest is just noise. Peace is found in progress."
My favorite part of being a columnist for @bigthink is being able to share wisdom from some of the world’s leading thinkers My full interview with @TSOH_Investing below Cc @seantmcvey @chandlertuttle
Enjoyed spending time with my friend @EricMarkowitz for The Long Game talking Buffett and Munger - the role they've served as teachers to the investment community, but also the broader lessons that we can all apply in our daily lives. Thank you Eric. bigthink.com/the-long-game/…

He's right. Except in a few edge cases, everything good (health, education, rule of law, tolerance) is downstream of economic growth.
Economic growth is literally everything. People fondly remember the times of high GDP growth and treat the ones with low growth as the dark ages. Growth means positive sum thinking becomes the optimal strategy and this is the bedrock of civic society. We must build more…
A spectacular example of Orwellian doublespeak from the UK Home Secretary: "Just because you have a freedom doesn’t mean you have to use it at every moment of every day." In fact the ability do something whenever you want is practically the definition of a freedom.
Fifty years ago, we were told that without draconian internationally imposed population control measures, like mandatory sterilization, mankind was doomed. This turned out to be profoundly stupid. The “logic” of Erlich's claims was supposedly impeccable. It was just simple…
“Why are children so anxious!?” “EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE”
In 1883, NYC had its biggest celebration ever for… a bridge. Cannons, flotillas, 14 tons of fireworks. Why did we once throw parades for engineers—and what did that optimism do for us? This thread tours that spirit of progress and what it meant for society. 🧵 @jasoncrawford
May these views never become routine. May we always sweetly gaze out the window of our grand ships of space and remember our crib of humanity. May we smile upon all the trials and tribulations we had and in the balance know it was good—and know… WE ROSE ABOVE IT.
Do people yearn for a past when they didn't yearn for the past? A time when they were young and hopeful, free from the gravity of nostalgia and cynicism about the present and future.
Nostalgic for the 90s? Violent crime was far higher. Republicans shut down the government. The Rodney King riots killed 63 people. Genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda. The end of the Cold war decimated many industries. But @mattyglesias points out the most positive feature: the…
New written interview on focus, leverage, obsession, and podcasting:
Why history is leverage. @davidsenra @founderspodcast “I would encourage people to use history as a form of leverage because — while events don't repeat exactly — human behavior does.” Read the full interview here: bigthink.com/business/the-d…
The Consciousness Issue is live! This special issue explores the field's biggest questions with essays and interviews from experts like Anil Seth, Annaka Harris, Erik Hoel, and Peter Godfrey-Smith. Some highlights: 🧵 (1/6)
My interview with @AdamFrank4 on @bigthink: "Growing up, Annaka Harris had a restless, inquisitive mind — and terrible migraines. Which is how she developed an interest in the subject that would captivate her for most of her career: consciousness..." bigthink.com/13-8/annaka-ha…
