Episode notes

There are three types of responses to tragedy: pre-tragic, where people stay in naive optimism and deny the reality; tragic, where people get stuck in depression or nihilism; and post-tragic, where people accept and grieve the reality.
The post-tragic response involves facing the actual constraints and dimensions of the problem.
Accepting the reality of a tragedy is essential to finding honest solutions.

There’s really no one better than veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher at challenging people to articulate their thinking. Tristan Harrris recently sat down with her for a wide ranging interview on AI risk. She even pressed Tristan on whether he is a doomsday prepper. It was so great, we wanted to share it with you here.

The interview was originally on Kara’s podcast ON with Kara Swisher. If you like it and want to hear more of Kara’s interviews with folks like Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman and others, you can find more episodes of ON with Kara Swisher here: https://link.chtbl.com/_XTWwg3k
