Bob Wright Interview Episode Recorded (Patreon)

Hi guys,

We completed the interview with Robert Wright. Was a very interesting one for us though as you can probably anticipate if you know Bob (and us)... it proved quite meandering!

We covered:

- The Weinsteins & their relative crackpot ratings

- Alternative & Mainstream media ecosystems and how they feed into guruism

- What are gurus anyway? And are they all bad?

- Sam Harris, tribalism, and cognitive biases

- Is Bob a Buddhist Modernist?

- To what extent is meditation a form of cultural conditioning

- What are Matt & Chris' views on evolutionary psychology?

- Issues regarding 'platforming'

- Anti-imperialism, Assad apologists, American Media, and the Grayzone

- Is America the land of anti-self deprecation?

- How does Bob feel about wokism and is it a real oppressive force? 

- Is Bob a (good) guru?

- Will Substacks, podcasts and Patreons save the world?

- What role does ideology play in generating conflict around the world

etc.

Editing is underway... this episode will probably be out before the Gad Saad one.
