This week I chat to Eigenrobot, prolific poster, podcaster, and unofficial king of post-rationalism (whatever we finally decided that is).

We chat about:

- Having babies, making families and community work

- What leads to low trust societies and the drifting away from high trust in the west

- "The conservation of suffering"

- What is post-rationalism?

- The American Cultural Empire and its consequences

- Preference Cascades and how everything can change overnight

- Echo chambers and internet hyperreality

- The Scott Alexander witch hunt

- Is there a real marketplace of ideas?

- Wokeness as an ethical-managerial superstructure that will be hard to dismantle

- Podcasting with friends

Eigen's recommended subversive thinker is medieval philosopher and theologian Peter (Pierre) Abelard and his book "Sic et Non"
