Econ talk is a weekly podcast from the Library of Economics and Liberty. This week, Russ Roberts talks with Kevin Kelly about philosophy's failure to explain how humans can be better than other people. "I don't see that working," says Kelly in response to an essay by David Chalmers on why philosophy hasn't answered any of the biggest questions.
Photographer, author, and visionary Kevin Kelly talks about his book Excellent Advice for Living with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. His advice includes how to have a deep conversation, why it's better to control time than money--and whether, in the end, we should give advice in the first place. Other topics of discussion include the right object of our aspirations, the reason for optimism when it comes to technology, and why Kelly is not worried about AI.
