In this episode, we interview Lant Pritchett, Professor of the Practice of International Development at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. After obtaining his PhD in Economics from MIT, he worked at the World Bank for many years, and was a contributor to the first Copenhagen consensus, a project that seeks to establish priorities in addressing environmental issues. In his book, Let Their People Come, Pritchett argues that the best way the developed world can help impoverished countries is to allow for immigration of low-skilled workers. We talk about this, and a whole lot more.

Season 1, Episode 8: Spencer Greenberg

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

dimanche 5 janvier 2020 • Durée 01:14:45

How to introduce Spencer Greenberg? He’s a man who wears many hats– entrepreneur, doctorate in applied math from New York University, researcher, startup founder, and he’s extremely productive in his spare time, too! He founded Spark Wave, a startup foundry which creates novel software products designed to solve problems in the world. A few of the issues they’ve tackled are scalable care for depression, and technology for improving social science. He also founded ClearerThinking.org, which offers free tools and training programs, that have been used by over 150,000 people, designed to help improve decision-making and reduce biases in people’s thinking.

He’s also the author of the books The Myth of the Rational Voter, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, and The Case Against Education. He is a self-described libertarian and anarchocapitalist, but in his popular works I mostly think of him as a contrarian.

Season 1, Episode 5: Brian Tomasik

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 23 mai 2018 • Durée 01:22:31

Brian Tomasik writes about ethics, animal welfare, and far-future scenarios from a suffering-focused perspective, all of which you can find on reducing-suffering.com. He helped to found Foundational Research Institute, a think tank that explores crucial considerations for reducing suffering in the long-run future. (Full-disclosure, Holly is currently a contractor for FRI.) Previously, Brian earned to give as a programmer at FlyHomes, and before that at Microsoft. Brian is something of a cult figure in EA. You’ll see in the interview that he has an extremely thoroughly thought out viewpoint that still strikes a lot of EAs as very unituitive. That combination is pretty irresistable. Brian has changed our minds a lot and convinced me of the importance of a lot of things I previously overlooked. And he does it with such serenity and goodwill that you can’t help but like him while he’s dutifully showing you how wrong you are. Ales and I really loved the experience, and we hope you will, too.

Season 1, Episode 2: Irene Pepperberg

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 23 mai 2018 • Durée 47:42

In episode 2, we test Irene Pepperberg on animal cognition and symbolic communication. Dr. Pepperberg worked with Alex the African Grey Parrot for 30 years, until his untimely death, and continues to work with other African Greys (Athena and Griffin) to explore the limits of their congnitive abilities. Long story short: she still hasn’t reached the edge. The more we look, the more fascinating avian capabilities we find. Irene is an unconvential scientist in many ways, from her wrist bangles (which you’ll hear) to her background in theoretical chemistry (!), and she’s great at telling her story. Enjoy!

Season 1, Episode 1: Larry Summers

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

dimanche 20 mai 2018 • Durée 20:15

We kickoff our series with an exclusive interview with Larry Summers, President Emeritus of Harvard University and former Chief Economist of the World Bank. "I'm here because I believe in [effective altruism] and I admire the idea that you can both count and care. I think too often people who care think that that removes from them the obligation to count and be rigorous and be evaluative and be tough minded. And I've always thought that the morally important something is, the more important it is to be brutally analytical and clinically calculating as you go about making decisions. And I think that's part of a philosophy of effective altruism, and that's something I admire." -- Larry Summers
