I would’ve liked to hear you disagree more strongly and press on certain points more, like you did on AI regulation. Some of the things Noah said (with great confidence) on this podcast were very surprising to hear go unchallenged. FDR as the leading light of economic policy who built the USA into an economic powerhouse? I’m not sure you could pick a worse candidate. His comments on libertarianism, especially that they have “forgotten about deregulation” seemed similarly detached from reality.
I think some of Noah’s work, particularly when it’s detached from politics, is very good, but, as was clear at times in this podcast, some things are pure ideology.
You're right, I definitely disagree with so many of his social points, but always appreciate you bringing on thoughtful people from the left who are willing to defend their arguments. It's painful, but a good way to hear the other side! 👍🏼
He's very obviously not a fool if you listened to the pod. You may disagree with him but many of the people he blocks ate absurd tankies re: China and Ukraine. They aren't a meaningful add to the discourse and are generally just dogmatic China/Russia supporters.
edit: alright i finally got to the end of the podcast and i see why it was left in.

How is this US semiconductor plant going to sell its chips when it pays its engineers 500k for the same job they do in Taiwan for 40k?

Can you ask Noah why he blocks and delete comments that challenge his views, especially on China and Ukraine?
It is because he is a fool.
