Episode notes

I was just in a class the other day in a seminar, and i have a colleague who studies evolutionary development. Shes like, it's a mistake to think that evolution has at any point cared about happiness licke of humans. It so classic, exactly evolutionary psychologi which is true. And he says, look, ganon a k, the goch a k gods of the earth turn out to be molok? Ak, the outer gods. Submitting to them doesn't make you free. There's no spontaneous order. Ye. I need to get back on the rowing. The only question is whether you'll be destroyed by foreign diseases, foreign means, foreign armies

David and Tamler wind their way through the long-requested “Meditations on Moloch” by Scott Alexander, a comprehensive account of the coordination problems (personified by Allan Ginsberg’s demon-entity Moloch) that lead to human misery and values tossed out the window. Does Alexander’s rationalist conception of human nature ignore the work of VBW favorites like Joe Henrich and Robert Frank? Is he a little too friendly to the neo-social Darwinism view of some guy named Nick Land? And oh no, why does he have to go transhumanist at the end?! Plus, we talk about the unique comic vision of Norm Macdonald and why we loved him.
