December 10, 2025252 – The 12 Virtues of Rationality, with Alex and David
Join me as I sit down with Alex and David, both previous guests on the show and both cofounders of the Guild of the Rose. Together, we go over the core – the heart – of what we consider to be the Rationalist tradition. The 12 Virtues are an awesome distillation of what the rest of the sequences build on.
Be sure to check out the Guild of the Rose. If our constantly pitching it to you hasn’t been enough to persuade you to check it out, hopefully hearing two more of the founders discuss Rationality in general and giving their own pitches for the Guild will tip the scales.

The Twelve Virtues
Abridged Version
Alex and David have been on more than a couple of times, but I’ll limit myself to one episode from each of them
189 – AI Bloomer David Youssef
192 – Absurdism and the Meaning of Life, with Alex
And the episode with both of them, the original announcement for the Guild
Also, Alex’s dating profile! In all sincerity, I’d date him if I was a woman.

November 26, 2025251 – Matt Freeman on What Makes a Good Story
Matt Freeman has been cohosting several media analysis podcasts for over a decade. He and his cohost Scott have been doing weekly episodes of the Doofcast every Friday and they cover movies, books, and TV shows. Matt and Scott’s analysis podcasts have made me love stories even more and have equipped me with tools to enhance my ability to think more deeply about the stories I consume and enjoy them even more.
My hope is that this meta-conversation will encourage anyone who hasn’t listened to the Doofcast or anything else Doof! Media has put out to give it a shot and see what you’ve been missing out on. Unfortunately, we were unable to coordinate a time for Matt’s cohost Scott to join us so hopefully I did an ok job making this entertaining and fun with only one expert guest.
Shoutout to Skyler Crossman, the Less Wrong community organizer extraordinaire!

November 12, 2025250 – Making the Good Life with Matt Freeman
While Eneasz is busy at InkHaven, Steven sits down with Matt Freeman to talk about not-AI stuff! We had (in my opinion) a great conversation about stoic philosophy, the traps of getting too entrenched in any philosophical framework, and some of the ingredients of a happy life.
