Dead Reasoning

Most voters want Iran stopped from getting a nuclear weapon, and most say the war wasn't worth it. This episode argues the war is worth the price and should go on until Iran can't build a nuclear weapon. It covers what Iran's government is and what it has done, the two roads if it gets a bomb, the objection that the war makes Iran want the bomb, the objection that you can't overthrow a government with bombs alone, why quitting doesn't end the price, and what the people who agree with the goal but object to the bill are really asking for.

Dead Reasoning: it's easy to get lost in the forest of ideas. A map, a compass, a pace count, and some dead reasoning can help guide you to reasonable opinions.

Leaders in AI and politics are calling for pauses, evaluations, and bans. This episode follows the evidence behind those calls: what a personal extinction forecast measures, what the Hugging Face incident does and doesn't show, who gains from the rules, and what slowing development could cost.
