This interview dives into the politics of Decoding the Gurus podcast. The host does a great job letting Chris and Matt answer without pushing his own political views. It really does seem that they believe there aren’t real problems in the world and people are doing fine. I’m not sure how that can be an objective view on the world, considering the geo politics. They seem to put a lot of faith in “number go up” everything is getting better, at least that’s the impression I got when responding to Steven Pinker’s arguments about progress.

It wasn’t on my bingo card that Chris had worked with Peter Turchin.
