Podcast Appearance: Why the Intellectual Dark Web Failed

My appearance on 'Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps,' talking about Dave Rubin, the problems with the media, and a fun range of tangents.

My third (and best) podcast appearance, talking with the wonderful Josh Szeps. Though the central theme is “what happened to the IDW”, we also talk about:

• What’s interesting - or not - about Dave Rubin

• AI sentience, and the threat of nuclear apocalypse

• Whether Christopher Hitchens would have been deranged by Twitter

• How we should judge whether news is of vital importance

• Criminal justice reform, and treating each case as it’s own

• ‘In Defence of Flogging’ by Peter Moskos

• My problem with Terminator 2

• The difficulty in speaking with ‘cancelled’ people

• Signs to be optimistic about the new media

• Why Neeva is a better search engine than Google

Available now all places good podcasts are listened to, including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.
