Brian Chau joins Jeremy Kauffman to talk about what AI is already useful for, what we should teach our kids, and whether we have good reasons to be optimistic.

Robin Hanson sits down with Travis Corcoran for the Free State Party's examination on Cultural Drift. Hanson's theory is that humanity broke our species' superpower (cultural evolution). In this talk, Hanson and Corcoran discuss his ideas and what, if anything, can be done about it.

Hanson is an economist at George Mason University, originator of futarchy, pioneer of prediction markets, author of Age of Em and The Elephant in the Brain, and one of the most rigorous heterodox thinkers alive. Travis takes him through the cultural drift framework, why cultural leaders aren't necessarily wise, the kibbutzim and Amish comparison, the role of exit costs, and presses on what it means for the future of liberty and markets.
