Episode notes

The chapter dives into the Society Library's mission to extract arguments from media and construct debate maps to facilitate informed decision-making and epistemological education. Using advanced tools to synthesize information on topics like climate change, the organization emphasizes presenting strong, evidence-based arguments through the concept of steel manning, aiming to enhance critical thinking and decision-making in the face of conflicting viewpoints.

Our guest in this episode is Jamie Joyce who is the president and executive director of The Society Library, an organization that extracts arguments, claims, and evidence from various forms of media to compile databases that map all the bickering and debating taking place across our species. They take all our conversations about all the major issues facing society and restructure them into something a single person, or a committee, or someone whose job affects millions can understand and then use to make better decisions.
