Episode notes

I think like, you know, since we've been able to coordinate on a large enough scale to do things like write books and leave them for other people to read. Ye, depends what he means by that. Like woolick, what's the time period that we're talking about here? I believe that it might have been more communal, more just active and fun for hunter gatherers than maybe or average person in modern society. He has this long section where he says a like, no matter what you think the solution is here, like, ye, not going to work. You're going to die. Everything's going to go to shit, right?

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.
