00:22:47 ◼ ► and it looks like the the majority of ships were taking ten or twenty days to get across the ocean [TS]

00:23:45 ◼ ► I'm to be cargo but there's no full there's no plane that's not flying because he's taking the ship [TS]
00:23:51 ◼ ► and if everybody were to take ships you know we have to do we'd have to make them more like cruise ships [TS]

00:26:24 ◼ ► and then agriculture is fourteen percent the these are the places where it can actually have an effect [TS]
00:26:31 ◼ ► but great I think small grassroots campaign sometimes late to those big things I know this is bit of a long bow [TS]

00:35:32 ◼ ► and the board decided it was time for them to part ways not because the public pressure at all [TS]
00:35:36 ◼ ► but because of unrelated reason and so she is gone now. Well you say what do you think about this guy. [TS]
00:35:43 ◼ ► Broadly speaking I would say that is welcome news is the way that I would describe it because she from my perspective [TS]
00:35:56 ◼ ► I mean I read it is an unusual company for very many reasons they are in a an unusually difficult situation of how to [TS]
00:36:10 ◼ ► but I think she was doing a bad job of it now I am more cautious than people might be expecting at this moment. [TS]
00:36:19 ◼ ► Partly because again this is just happened very recently from our perspective so I don't have a lot of information I [TS]
00:36:27 ◼ ► but here's the thing she has a line in her resignation which I think is quite telling [TS]
00:36:32 ◼ ► and worth focusing on in her resignation letter and read it she says quote so why am I leaving. [TS]
00:36:39 ◼ ► Ultimately the board asked me to demonstrate higher user growth in the next six months then I believe I can deliver [TS]
00:36:47 ◼ ► and quote I think a good way to always try to view the actions of other people is to give them the benefit of the doubt [TS]
00:36:57 ◼ ► and assume that in their situation with the knowledge that they have they are trying to make the most rational [TS]
00:37:06 ◼ ► decisions that they can that they are acting in their own self-interest and so while I did not like her as a C.E.O. [TS]
00:37:15 ◼ ► I still try to think that well she's there's reasons for her actions she is under certain constraints [TS]
00:37:25 ◼ ► and she is trying to act in a rational way around those constraints from from from her own self interest right I'm not [TS]
00:37:32 ◼ ► I'm not saying rational in a benevolent way just rational like oh I'm a person of what am I going to do in the [TS]
00:37:42 ◼ ► and just like with all companies it's sort of easy to forget because the C.E.O.'s are are so on center stage [TS]
00:37:50 ◼ ► but C.E.O.'s are not the final word in their companies that that's a that's a real like a as Steve Jobs situation where [TS]
00:37:59 ◼ ► he was in control of the whole board of his company is not the not the norm that is an exception. [TS]
00:38:10 ◼ ► Yeah and so the next person who's coming on which is Steve Oh I forgot his last name. [TS]
00:38:18 ◼ ► Steve Huffman I think funding is one of the around us yet he was one of the co-founders of Reddit he's coming on board [TS]
00:38:35 ◼ ► and if he doesn't have a controlling interest in the stock he is ultimately responsible to the board as well [TS]
00:38:43 ◼ ► and so that's why I say it is welcome news that Ellen POW is gone because I think that even [TS]
00:38:50 ◼ ► when she was acting in her own self interest she was just doing a terrible job as C.E.O. [TS]
00:38:59 ◼ ► and Steve Huffman is going to be in the same position now maybe he can be very charming [TS]
00:39:08 ◼ ► and he'll almost certainly be better at knowing how to deftly execute change than Ellen powers who seem to have a [TS]
00:39:25 ◼ ► Because I don't think that all of the problems of the things that I disagree with about Reddit reside with the C.E.O. [TS]
00:39:32 ◼ ► and I think it's a structural issue like the company it has the boards there are you know there are higher powers that [TS]
00:39:38 ◼ ► want read it to be profitable in the way the traditional companies are so I am cautiously optimistic about the whole [TS]
00:39:47 ◼ ► situation but not some people are just throwing a big party like the Wicked Witch of the West has been killed [TS]
00:39:54 ◼ ► and now all of Oz will be magical again I don't think that that's that's a good assessment of where we are what are you [TS]
00:40:05 ◼ ► Well I don't have the same affection for read it to heat a lot Gretta I use it every day I get a lot of value from A [TS]
00:40:20 ◼ ► but I was I think there are a lot of people on the worry me I think read it has a wiring streak through it. [TS]
00:40:36 ◼ ► Well as you read I read it would be a crazy person because of the it's a conglomeration of so many people. [TS]
00:40:43 ◼ ► Yeah yeah yeah of course the size everything so is Twitter and sorry Facebook and says everything [TS]
00:40:47 ◼ ► but I don't use that I don't get that same feeling from those Web sites that I get from read it [TS]
00:40:52 ◼ ► but the other thing is I think this was a lynch mob and I don't know much about this woman you say she was a bad seed. [TS]
00:41:02 ◼ ► You obviously have some insights into the red at management that I have because I don't know whether it was her that [TS]
00:41:07 ◼ ► was managing badly it was other things going on I'll take the word for of people who say say I'm not a new into [TS]
00:41:15 ◼ ► criticising companies as a hoe and was even management teams as to how I don't always like it [TS]
00:41:25 ◼ ► and I feel like this woman has been publicly lynched by over two hundred thousand people [TS]
00:41:40 ◼ ► Are too uncomfortable two hundred thousand people from a Web site that read it can just suddenly stop or Titian [TS]
00:41:45 ◼ ► and say we don't like this person and within a few days they go on this she was not a democratically elected later [TS]
00:41:51 ◼ ► and I feel like she's been publicly lynched and maybe she's the worst C.E.O. In the history of C.S. [TS]
00:41:57 ◼ ► and Maybe this is the best thing that's ever happened to read it the why the way it is unfolded from someone who has no [TS]
00:42:09 ◼ ► I doesn't make me feels like I don't know how to our woods are so sorry for her I don't know enough about her [TS]
00:42:14 ◼ ► but I just started like this publicly inching I think I think there's a lot of vigilanteism going on on the Internet [TS]
00:42:22 ◼ ► and this is what if it was a bit there's a lot in what you're saying the thing that's different about Reddit is that a [TS]
00:42:34 ◼ ► and POW it's coming entirely from the thing that she has written like the announcements that she has posted under her [TS]
00:42:42 ◼ ► name on the website. Fair enough and I don't know how she acted. Inside the company. [TS]
00:42:50 ◼ ► and I would say she was a terrible Reddit User she interacted with the community very poorly [TS]
00:42:57 ◼ ► and so that's what that's how I am a valuating her because because this is again this is why I read it is so weird [TS]
00:43:05 ◼ ► but cry you don't have to be a good car driver to run General Motors you are right your General Motors analogy is [TS]
00:43:14 ◼ ► and their like ability scores we can you Steve Jobs is a historical example of him being very divisive I think a better [TS]
00:43:21 ◼ ► modern example that came into my head is I don't know his name but the guy who's the C.E.O. [TS]
00:43:32 ◼ ► Of birth is an abrasive person and that there are lots of people who do not like the C.E.O. [TS]
00:43:51 ◼ ► or Is he good at running for that's the only relevant question there if I'd like I'm on the board of her [TS]
00:44:02 ◼ ► and I look at his his personality my response is what I don't care if he's the meanest jerk in the world from the [TS]
00:44:08 ◼ ► perspective of a company whose company is doing amazing it's like so keep this guy on board even if he makes ridiculous [TS]
00:44:14 ◼ ► public statements that are terrible. Making money will silence your critics very quickly. [TS]
00:44:19 ◼ ► Exactly but the problem with Read it is that read it is not manufacturing anything. [TS]
00:44:26 ◼ ► Red It's not selling i Phones that people buy red it's not providing services the whole thing that read it has is the [TS]
00:44:37 ◼ ► and you can say to a large extent the people are there as a result of the efforts of all of the volunteers we were [TS]
00:44:50 ◼ ► and even in my own small way like I am the moderator on the siege be gray sub read it [TS]
00:45:00 ◼ ► and I interact with the people there you know this in my own small way I'm bringing a little bit of an audience to read [TS]
00:45:06 ◼ ► it and then you multiply that across the thousands and thousands of sub RADDATZ And that's what the audience is. [TS]
00:45:12 ◼ ► Yeah so since since for it doesn't sell anything a big part of the C.E.O.'s job is keep the moderators happy so the [TS]
00:45:31 ◼ ► and that the community doesn't like this is a problem in the way that it is not a problem for oh most any other company [TS]
00:45:40 ◼ ► it Perry says it's a business travel of a Sufi Yes it is a business threat if I'm a board member [TS]
00:45:45 ◼ ► and I say if people don't like the C.E.O. Of this company it is a it is a problem. [TS]
00:45:51 ◼ ► One last thing on the popularity issue is that I think it is very interesting that the board appointed Steve Huffman [TS]
00:46:01 ◼ ► verses there are other obvious choice which is a guy called Alexis Ohanian I never know how to pronounce his last name [TS]
00:46:09 ◼ ► but Steve and Alexis these guys were the co-founders of read it it's really interesting that I've found read it [TS]
00:46:17 ◼ ► when it was first announced on Paul Graham's blog talking about these two guys a put together this discussion website [TS]
00:46:24 ◼ ► why don't you go take a look like way back in the day and Steve adds in at some point. [TS]
00:46:33 ◼ ► Stephen Alexis both all their shares in the company and they went off to do other things. [TS]
00:46:37 ◼ ► Steve founded a company which is now called Hipmunk which is the travel search website was very good I really like it [TS]
00:46:44 ◼ ► and Alexis eventually came back to read it and Alexis has been at Reddit for I don't know the past two [TS]
00:46:54 ◼ ► but the interesting thing is that if you were the board you feel like Oh Alexis is the obvious choice he's well known [TS]
00:47:02 ◼ ► by the community and he's been working at rather why don't we appoint him is the C.E.O. He's one of the co-founders. [TS]
00:47:09 ◼ ► But I think the board knew that Alexis has also burned a lot of his credit with the community because he was putting [TS]
00:47:20 ◼ ► his name on a lot of the same announcements that were causing controversy at Reddit [TS]
00:47:33 ◼ ► but people were asking him you know what what are you one of the highest level people are ready going to do to fix the [TS]
00:47:39 ◼ ► situation and he was making jokey comments that were saying oh boy I'm just going to take out some popcorn [TS]
00:47:51 ◼ ► but you you sound like you are Nero watching this whole thing burned like it's not funny [TS]
00:48:00 ◼ ► and so I just think that the board made this interesting choice of OK we want to try to have some [TS]
00:48:08 ◼ ► but we're not going to go with the guy who was the co-founder who's actually been here we're going to go with the guy [TS]
00:48:14 ◼ ► who's the co-founder who left so I think they're trying to start with as as clean a slate as possible because I think [TS]
00:48:21 ◼ ► that Alexis has been kind of sullied a little bit by having been at Reddit for the past two years so that's I think [TS]
00:48:29 ◼ ► that's just interesting that they went was DB over a Lexus That's all I want to say about that he just might read a [TS]
00:48:35 ◼ ► sound like this kind of childish hive of babies that you Dan not pissed off because they're all this bunch of crazy [TS]
00:48:42 ◼ ► people that will just carry insane if you make one little moves that don't like it it just sounds unhealthy to make [TS]
00:48:48 ◼ ► right it doesn't sound healthy I'm sorry it just sounds weird I just doesn't sound like any other business I know that [TS]
00:48:54 ◼ ► would be so beholden to they say mobile I think part of the problem is just that people are complaining that things [TS]
00:49:02 ◼ ► haven't been going well I mean this is a small example the the Reddit app that I use which is called a. [TS]
00:49:09 ◼ ► Elian blew on the i Pad It used to be developed by this just single guy who made it on his own [TS]
00:49:21 ◼ ► Ever and they fix none of the bugs and that's the kind of thing that just makes people angry [TS]
00:49:26 ◼ ► when they say OK look someone was just making this great thing and then you purchased it [TS]
00:49:33 ◼ ► and the similar things with the tools for the moderators having just never been improved over long periods of time so [TS]
00:49:39 ◼ ► it's not like it's not like people are angry for no reason they're angry because the things that they used to run [TS]

00:57:19 ◼ ► How in real life so ho vastly fewer people agree with me that I expect you agree with me I feel like oh I have the [TS]
00:57:38 ◼ ► Almost everybody doesn't so I was interested in the red to say like oh this is a different demographic because in my [TS]
00:57:43 ◼ ► normal life I'm like a unlike a crazy person on the street with a sign like the end is near people yeah buddy whatever [TS]
00:57:56 ◼ ► when I have this conversation with people that say it's funny that you think are mice think like the position you are [TS]
00:58:04 ◼ ► A mug sort of science he's not I think that your position is almost cliche in its sort of everywhere oh where oh [TS]
00:58:15 ◼ ► and the the machine just running running its course now it may be the people that you're interacting with [TS]
00:58:20 ◼ ► but my experience has been even with very science the people there is a I find there's a much smaller percentage of [TS]
00:58:27 ◼ ► people who take my stance than I expect there would be something that you think that was discussion was so much about [TS]
00:58:34 ◼ ► and that that was really just didn't stick with made a free will stuff report may an author I was more interested in [TS]
00:58:39 ◼ ► the stuff about beauty and knowledge and whether it's better to know stuff and not nice stuff [TS]
00:58:45 ◼ ► and the free will stuff was like oh I was really couldn't and then everyone thinks [TS]
00:58:50 ◼ ► and then I was reading people saying Brady your analogy has nothing at all to do with free will [TS]
00:58:56 ◼ ► and I was talking about single that thing they'll We had like three deep philosophical conversations in far too short a [TS]
00:59:02 ◼ ► period of time that we're not really related to each other I was really where is that [TS]
00:59:08 ◼ ► and now I tell you what are the thing I come away from from the whole thing the how to cope [TS]
00:59:15 ◼ ► and I found the comment six or sing a foundry in the car I didn't read most of my found the whole thing exhausting [TS]
00:59:21 ◼ ► and this is the thing I've realized their own different personality types in the wild. [TS]
00:59:30 ◼ ► Stringent requirements has more is more inflexible when it comes to the use of analogy. [TS]
00:59:41 ◼ ► Metaphors and things like that I really believe this and I believe you are very much in that category. [TS]
00:59:49 ◼ ► And there's a few other people a mile of her in that category and I think the people in a sub read [TS]
00:59:55 ◼ ► or a lot of them are also very much in that category and I'm not in that category and I'm not saying one is right [TS]
01:00:04 ◼ ► and one is wrong but we're definitely on very different pages when it comes to analogies. [TS]
01:00:11 ◼ ► and it drives me absolutely bonkers I sent you like I sent you a jokey I sent you a joke a little Katerina I made which [TS]
01:00:24 ◼ ► when the first people's land on my this is going to be a moment much like when humans first set foot on the moon [TS]
01:00:38 ◼ ► Mars is a planet the Marin is a satellite of the earth and the Marin has virtually no was fear [TS]
01:00:44 ◼ ► and mass does have it I don't know I don't I know this is crazy and I think that's an exaggerated example [TS]
01:00:51 ◼ ► but the face of the funny thing as I've been thinking about analogies to talk about your difficulty with analogies [TS]
01:00:56 ◼ ► everytime I think of when I think now that won't work for Greg but because because he can do it you can't do it [TS]
01:01:02 ◼ ► but you you have very strict you find flaws in them that actually you should be finding you gotta finish a comic story [TS]
01:01:13 ◼ ► Your you trying to write dialogue for me came off of the thing that I would never ever say that I would actually in [TS]
01:01:20 ◼ ► Agree with the sentence that you made like I would agree with your position that it's like it's a it's a big thing [TS]
01:01:37 ◼ ► Even when someone is using like a comical something as analogy you take its own literally [TS]
01:01:44 ◼ ► and you look for like the the truth of little so much that you don't get that it's like an exaggerated situation that [TS]
01:01:52 ◼ ► would that's not the actual situation that is being used to illustrate a point I understand that it's a common Yeah [TS]
01:01:57 ◼ ► but seriously still you're arguing with me saying why robot comics all wrong because that's not what I would say it was [TS]
01:02:03 ◼ ► like a parody it was a joke that was like exaggerating the point another one another way I think about [TS]
01:02:09 ◼ ► and I've been thinking about this a bit like me a pair of Oakes Yes the masters of ambiguous communication a parable. [TS]
01:02:15 ◼ ► Exactly exactly the fact that you that's how you describe a parable makes my point for me exactly this if you one thing [TS]
01:02:22 ◼ ► make sure that your message will be interpreted in a vast variety of different waves. Use a parable. [TS]
01:02:30 ◼ ► but that's the problem you see you focus on the wrong things you focus on the wrong points in a parable visit there's a [TS]
01:02:41 ◼ ► and then you're looking at all these other little tensions inside details and drives me bonkers. [TS]
01:02:48 ◼ ► Draws people because I know now it drives me bonkers to his oath about this and I don't know how you'll react to this. [TS]
01:02:57 ◼ ► There is a kind of thinking that I really value but that I I don't think I can do very well myself [TS]
01:03:09 ◼ ► but the release of this which is arguments from first principles I don't think that I'm very good at looking at a [TS]
01:03:16 ◼ ► problem and then breaking it down into first principles and then trying to build it up from there [TS]
01:03:21 ◼ ► but I do think that's the best kind of arguments and thinking that can be done and I love that kind of thinking [TS]
01:03:27 ◼ ► but I often find myself feeling that when I am not able to do that I have to fall back on. [TS]
01:03:35 ◼ ► Argue I use analogies as well as in my mind I feel like every time I use an analogy [TS]
01:03:46 ◼ ► and that the analogy is just like a like a drowning man grasping at anything trying to make an argument that's the way [TS]
01:04:08 ◼ ► but they're not angry have to work for the analogy to break down that it's that's the problem with people on the [TS]
01:04:16 ◼ ► and a not to be cracked they think anytime someone makes an analogy it's almost a sport of finding the point where the [TS]
01:04:23 ◼ ► analogy breaks down instead of looking for where an analogy or metaphor breaks down look for the value in it. [TS]
01:04:30 ◼ ► Take that and discard the rest. Don't you don't always have to be poking and prodding and looking for flaws. [TS]
01:04:40 ◼ ► Talk about puberty a lot of people took issue with me saying that I think things can be more beautiful [TS]
01:04:45 ◼ ► when you turn to know all the details it's going on I was saying the fireman video about flowers being more beautiful [TS]
01:04:51 ◼ ► when you know the science that's not always true things are always more awesome an amazing [TS]
01:04:59 ◼ ► but they're not always more beautiful let me use Scarlett you're handsome I for some reason over the time has become a [TS]
01:05:08 ◼ ► Character in your mind in the pod goes no other thing Audie think are that of a select the wood writers F.A.V. [TS]
01:05:13 ◼ ► Person but she's a pretty lady and we we've used here in the past as an example of a pretty lady. [TS]
01:05:19 ◼ ► So we're going to she's going to be our example of a pretty she's going to be after tea lady OK. [TS]
01:05:22 ◼ ► Scalia Hansen is not looking not looking person she is attractive and considered beautiful to a lot of people yes. [TS]
01:05:33 ◼ ► and muscle going on she has brown mush going through her intestines that sometimes comes out of her she has sweat [TS]
01:05:40 ◼ ► accumulating under her pits she has bacteria under her toenails these zero part of her skull that you hence it is [TS]
01:05:49 ◼ ► but when you start thinking about all that stuff some of that kind of a pretty a nice mess goes away. [TS]
01:05:58 ◼ ► and it's amazing she's an amazing machine like all the rest of us with all of this incredible complexity that we should [TS]
01:06:07 ◼ ► when you want to just admire something for being just pretty and nice and if you think I'm wrong [TS]
01:06:15 ◼ ► and you think she is more amazing when you think about all those things so she's more pretty [TS]
01:06:18 ◼ ► when you think about all those things that's fair enough and I respect your opinion [TS]
01:06:25 ◼ ► but you must realize that that's not the image of her that she used in advertising that's not the image of her that is [TS]
01:06:40 ◼ ► and that doesn't mean you're not entitled to think that that you are in the minority [TS]
01:06:49 ◼ ► when you disregard all of the complexity that is going on at that kind of biological price level my statement was that [TS]
01:06:59 ◼ ► it doesn't detract but that knowing about the thing in more detail doesn't detract from its beauty. [TS]
01:07:08 ◼ ► Well if my unclear if that included all of that in the ad I mean of course everyone knows she's a human who goes to the [TS]
01:07:26 ◼ ► Thank you to pay basically pay was not expensive sums up my argument and yet and so people are wired. [TS]
01:07:43 ◼ ► and that's what I'm saying about some of these other things once you know all of the reality the thing can be less [TS]
01:07:49 ◼ ► attractive it's still more amazing but and too is amazing. But it's not attractive. It's not it's not. [TS]
01:08:03 ◼ ► but the thing that makes the thing that makes Scarlett Johansson attractive. Has nothing to do with those things. [TS]
01:08:09 ◼ ► That's why knowing about them doesn't attract everything everything about her that makes her attractive to other people [TS]
01:08:22 ◼ ► Half a centimeter scale that is the part of her that is attractive physically is not the insides of her intestines if I [TS]
01:08:29 ◼ ► am on a picnic with someone say my wife and we're having a a remand to moment and a rainbow comes out there [TS]
01:08:40 ◼ ► and it's just happy it's just a happy nine right if I was to then start describing to have a house a lot was refracting [TS]
01:08:49 ◼ ► and reflecting through the rain drops and started talking about some of the science [TS]
01:08:53 ◼ ► and the optics of Rambo Yes I think that would detract from the moment we're having for her OK [TS]
01:09:04 ◼ ► We're now talking about the particulars of what your love which of what your wife likes in a romantic moment. [TS]
01:09:10 ◼ ► That's two different things. She's a person on the person I'm just saying people people need to understand that. [TS]
01:09:18 ◼ ► It's good to know everything but when you know everything I think some of the I'm not going to use that [TS]
01:09:25 ◼ ► and what it because people get really upset about I need to think of a better word no [TS]
01:09:28 ◼ ► but I know what you mean I know what you mean that the like there is nothing that feel like the word the N. [TS]
01:09:40 ◼ ► but I think this is partly that I'm discussing beauty in a in a more narrow almost definitional way yeah it's [TS]
01:09:55 ◼ ► and then we'll move on I did want to clear my name here for all the people in the Reddit who as you were saying were [TS]
01:10:03 ◼ ► Gray not know that quantum mechanics exist why does he keep talking about their monistic universe right this is a [TS]
01:10:14 ◼ ► Yeah deterministic was not the best word to use because I tend to use this in a in a broader way I used a lot of like [TS]
01:10:23 ◼ ► how I use magic. Yeah that was this is exactly if I were both taking our turns doing the exact same thing. [TS]
01:10:29 ◼ ► So I would view something like a set of dice as deterministic in the sense that we might not be able to do to know what [TS]
01:10:44 ◼ ► but everything there is to know about rolling dice that we know we know the bell curve distribution that seven is [TS]
01:10:52 ◼ ► what's going to come up the most into and twelve are going to come up the least often that this is known [TS]
01:10:59 ◼ ► and that everything about dice behavior is described by that situation and so we could very well live [TS]
01:11:06 ◼ ► and pro most certainly live in a universe where human nature is fundamentally probabilistic because quantum mechanics [TS]
01:11:15 ◼ ► is probable a stick but that doesn't change the fact that if you if you knew everything about the brain and Adams [TS]
01:11:24 ◼ ► and everything else you could start drawing bell curves for human activities in the same way that you can draw a bell [TS]
01:11:32 ◼ ► when people talk about still having free will under those circumstances to me it's still just randomness. [TS]
01:11:42 ◼ ► and every time the dice tell you I chose to roll a for this time I chose to roll it. [TS]
01:11:49 ◼ ► but you know that if you keep rolling those dice It always produces this perfect bell curve like nothing those dice [TS]
01:11:58 ◼ ► when I have a mathematical model that perfectly predicts in a sadistical manner what choices that dice makes So I think [TS]
01:12:05 ◼ ► that that the most accurate way to describe it might be that humans are shockingly complicated dice that are really [TS]
01:12:18 ◼ ► But I don't think that's that's any more free will than if the universe was deterministic in the more narrow sense of [TS]
01:12:28 ◼ ► and a system that could ever become chaotic it may very well be that on long time scales in the universe it becomes [TS]
01:12:39 ◼ ► but even systems that we traditionally describe as chaotic like the weather is a good example the weather is still [TS]
01:12:48 ◼ ► and this this is still the same thing of sure you can't know what the weather is going to be like three hundred sixty [TS]
01:12:55 ◼ ► but you can lay out bell curve to give you the probabilities of what the weather will be within certain ranges it's not [TS]
01:13:02 ◼ ► going to be twenty million Kelvin and is not going to be zero Kelvin or we get we can bounce what that's going to be [TS]
01:13:11 ◼ ► and the other problem that I have with this is there's a I don't know how to call it [TS]
01:13:15 ◼ ► but if I feel there's a bit of a like as Xeno's paradox in free will that sure over long periods of time it's very hard [TS]
01:13:25 ◼ ► and shorter like the room for free will also decreases because if you can predict very accurately what at what someone [TS]
01:13:43 ◼ ► and you just keep updating your model with what is the exact situation of the universe right now so that's where it still [TS]
01:13:49 ◼ ► feels to me like I don't I still don't see where the free will isn't any of this I think is really just like dice in my [TS]
01:13:54 ◼ ► brain and it feels like free will but it isn't you know how you have to scrape sites in technology [TS]
01:14:01 ◼ ► and think things are going to be a set and when you talk a lot of a how computers going to be able to do this that [TS]
01:14:13 ◼ ► or influenced by that fact you happen to be living at a time of incredible technological advancement because I I was [TS]
01:14:24 ◼ ► I've got a couple of magazines in my house that were sort of from the fifty's and sixty's [TS]
01:14:29 ◼ ► and they were written at a time of incredible advancement in human space exploration. [TS]
01:14:36 ◼ ► and these things magazines a clot a cause in the talking about what we're going to be doing [TS]
01:14:40 ◼ ► and am moon bases in nineteen eighty hand how will all be on mass by the intervention and obviously things changed [TS]
01:14:46 ◼ ► and things have slowed down. Quite a bit from what people thought were going to happen. [TS]
01:14:54 ◼ ► and technology is going to incredible right are you a bit like the dazzle to journalists who are rotting in those [TS]
01:15:02 ◼ ► and mass bases with all your outlandish predictions for all the things that technology is going to be able to read in [TS]
01:15:10 ◼ ► and in a couple of hundred years is a possible something's going to happen like what happened to human space [TS]
01:15:34 ◼ ► but be a product of our time the the only thing I'll say about that are two points one. [TS]
01:15:41 ◼ ► I'm often really frustrated by people going back in time and then finding ridiculous predictions for the future [TS]
01:15:52 ◼ ► when people play the game where they act as though movies were in the business of making accurate predictions like oh [TS]
01:16:03 ◼ ► and is twenty fifteen it back to the future like go back to the future wasn't in the job of trying to make any kind of [TS]
01:16:07 ◼ ► realistic prediction can can you know put a little bit of that of many of these great just a little bit like just sort [TS]
01:16:12 ◼ ► of a general like cultural thing like no because I'm not interested in what moviegoers think the future is going to be [TS]
01:16:18 ◼ ► like a much more interested in what do you professionals working in the field. Think is going. [TS]
01:16:24 ◼ ► but I'm not the snow at least partly coloured by that I mean yeah in the sense that people who make up stories are [TS]
01:16:31 ◼ ► influenced by the real world but I'm not going to look at the maker uppers for the predictions. [TS]
01:16:41 ◼ ► and they're again one of the clear you find all kinds of crazy predictions there as well [TS]
01:16:50 ◼ ► and I have an interest in the space exploration time in very different ways because I I think that a lot of the space [TS]
01:17:00 ◼ ► exploration stuff was like this amazing anomaly in technological progress in time the happenstance of politics [TS]
01:17:11 ◼ ► and the happenstance of the level of technology that existed and the economies at the time. [TS]
01:17:22 ◼ ► and money to be poured into a technology which was not really practical at the time [TS]
01:17:33 ◼ ► and so that's partly why I think a lot of the will be in space by the two thousand predictions are off because there [TS]
01:17:41 ◼ ► was there was this weird anomaly occurring Paypal and taking that sort of ski into account. [TS]
01:17:49 ◼ ► Yeah that there there was like a there was like a future discount bias here something like like where we're massively [TS]
01:17:59 ◼ ► It turns out that it can't pay off on the time scales that we needed to to keep up this investment for twenty thirty [TS]
01:18:07 ◼ ► Which Which is precisely what we saw happened right funding just as dramatically dropped in general [TS]
01:18:15 ◼ ► and Other projects where we're really beginning to get into the world of space exploration might be with part of called [TS]
01:18:23 ◼ ► the Jason possible of technologies we have enough other stuff now that makes this easier [TS]
01:18:32 ◼ ► and the only I wish I had other comparison the only thing I can think of is this famous story about Richard Fineman was [TS]
01:18:39 ◼ ► very interested in nanotechnology which is a thing that I was interested in as well in college which is the the [TS]
01:18:44 ◼ ► technology of building atomic scale machines and he wanted to promote the growth of this field [TS]
01:18:53 ◼ ► and so he had a competition to create a functioning electric motor that was something like five millimeters in size he [TS]
01:19:01 ◼ ► wanted someone to be able to make a tiny electric motor as the first step towards nanotechnology [TS]
01:19:06 ◼ ► and he offered a prize. But the problem was he was thinking that in order to build a motor that that was that small. [TS]
01:19:14 ◼ ► Someone would need to grow it's like a mold or something you couldn't build this with traditional structures [TS]
01:19:21 ◼ ► but it turns out that that was just on the scale that precision jewellers with the right magnifying to glasses could [TS]
01:19:33 ◼ ► and so I think the space race might be something like that where the goal is to get to the moon [TS]
01:19:45 ◼ ► but to not hit it in a sustainable way I think O'Mara nice to that that in summary is why I think the predictions were [TS]
01:19:58 ◼ ► and you don't think do you think any of those factors are at play now that I'm making a really optimistic Yes Of So [TS]
01:20:03 ◼ ► that's that's coming coming back to this is I don't see that same kind of thing what I see instead is massive demand [TS]
01:20:38 ◼ ► Increased and accelerating technological change but I'm always open to the possibility that I'm wrong. [TS]
01:20:44 ◼ ► There may there may be physical boundaries in the structure of the universe that we are unaware of that limit [TS]
01:20:51 ◼ ► technological progress there's no rule of the universe that says computers will always double in speed you know there [TS]
01:20:57 ◼ ► may be some some limit that we start pressing up against the totally stopped us it may also be that there are just [TS]
01:21:05 ◼ ► things that we can't do that humans are not smart enough as a species to accomplish various things I almost think it's [TS]
01:21:18 ◼ ► Here's no reason that monkeys swinging from trees should be able to develop brings a can do calculus it's astounding [TS]
01:21:27 ◼ ► how pliable the human brain is and it's easy to think oh wow are such an amazing species look how smart we are [TS]
01:21:38 ◼ ► and so we may run up against just some biological limit of our own smartness even if there isn't a limit in the [TS]
01:21:47 ◼ ► but I I don't see evidence for those limits so for the moment I'm kind of assuming that they don't exist [TS]
01:21:53 ◼ ► and the route it really is a limit to your snotty this is definitely a limit to my smart [TS]
01:22:01 ◼ ► Yeah to fill out I feel dumber than I did years ago I feel like I was smarter do you think your best days are behind [TS]
01:22:14 ◼ ► Maybe not my my best days in terms of enjoyment of life but in terms of raw brain processing ability. [TS]
01:22:24 ◼ ► Enact in that field you want to be a top physicist I hope you get started soon you know that's a that's a goal there [TS]
01:22:32 ◼ ► are your best days as a youtube filmmaker behind you I think it's possible that the humans need not apply video might [TS]
01:22:47 ◼ ► Yeah this is a good idea it's a good video what I'm saying is I would own I don't want that to be the case obviously [TS]
01:22:58 ◼ ► but I'm open to the possibility that that might be the best thing that I ever make in terms of things that I think are [TS]
01:23:06 ◼ ► but if I'm looking back on the body of work that I do I can I can imagine on my death bed thinking you know that was [TS]
01:23:16 ◼ ► Everybody has a high water mark some point and you know what it's not the day before you die. [TS]
01:23:25 ◼ ► Yeah yeah what about your your your best video making days ahead of you breeding I mean your way older than me I think. [TS]
01:23:35 ◼ ► The amount of time I have is what dictates what I make and how good what I make is more than more than my abilities [TS]
01:23:48 ◼ ► and sometimes that means I can spend as long and making things good or thinking about a creative way to do it [TS]
01:24:01 ◼ ► and there I could still make some pretty some pretty great things some things that are better them of night before [TS]
01:24:09 ◼ ► and loss finding that time becomes hada I don't think my brain's not capable of a little odd so I'm just finding out [TS]
01:24:31 ◼ ► but your audience in many ways is is an interest in the particulars of your life you are a black box that produces [TS]
01:24:46 ◼ ► People aren't interested in so do you think that the black box that is Brady Herrin will produce better work in the [TS]
01:25:09 ◼ ► Is not the be all and end all of how good the stuff I create is and in fact it's not. [TS]
01:25:22 ◼ ► and I think this is true feel as well that you didn't touch on it is actually experience and I think as I get more [TS]
01:25:29 ◼ ► and more experienced I'm able to bring that experience to bear to make my work better. [TS]
01:25:34 ◼ ► So although I might not have the the ship brute power in my head that I used to have I think I've got a lot more [TS]
01:25:41 ◼ ► experience of what works and doesn't work and short cuts and things I can do to make things good [TS]
01:25:46 ◼ ► and I hope I would bring that experience to bear a few more times with the limited C.P.U. I have left. [TS]
01:25:54 ◼ ► OK so we're drawing a formula on the board here we're going to assume that the amount of time that you have vailable as [TS]
01:25:59 ◼ ► constant your brain function is obviously going down because we're all stepping towards the grave every day. [TS]
01:26:04 ◼ ► but that the experience function is greater for some period of time than the decrease in brain yeah yeah I think carries [TS]
01:26:14 ◼ ► a bit more of a whiting to again obviously it's not infinite because you're not doesn't help you when you're eighty. [TS]
01:26:23 ◼ ► Yeah yeah there is that there is that there is a crossover I don't think I don't think I don't think I've hit it yet [TS]
01:26:36 ◼ ► Yeah it is it is so you get you get you know more experience but maybe spend more time on things. [TS]
01:26:42 ◼ ► OK I look forward to your future I mean they work this episode of hello internet is also brought to you by Squarespace [TS]
01:26:53 ◼ ► Not only has Squarespace obviously paid for the advertising clot that I am reading right now [TS]

01:36:39 ◼ ► Creatures coming to that end up with me having a huge editing job that also results in the podcast being way shorter [TS]
01:36:47 ◼ ► when we can stop talking let me let me talk about swearing I uploaded the video the other day. [TS]
01:36:54 ◼ ► And in it I had this colorful character this guy into and he was being O'Flynn buoyant interesting [TS]
01:37:00 ◼ ► and at one point he said Hot damn like an erratic cited what he was getting at something to play with [TS]
01:37:09 ◼ ► and Then he continued with his conversation and when I was editing at I did for half a second think Hot damn [TS]
01:37:16 ◼ ► and I thought Now I he said he knew the cameras rolling it's fun it's funny I don't think that's an offensive word [TS]
01:37:26 ◼ ► but they also know I have my definition of swear words in the often say these words [TS]
01:37:39 ◼ ► and then I got an e-mail from a I wish I could fall in the now it was a really nice same hour [TS]
01:37:45 ◼ ► and it was really well written but I can't find it by searching for the word damn. [TS]
01:37:50 ◼ ► Because this person was so offended by the word damn they didn't you say if it didn't include it in their Hema [TS]
01:37:57 ◼ ► and I can't remember the other words they used the anyway they said I shouldn't have left it in [TS]
01:38:10 ◼ ► and I was like that's interesting how we really are what was your reaction to that. [TS]
01:38:14 ◼ ► Well my reaction was I went to Twitter and smarter to follow as if they think is an offensive word and I would say. [TS]
01:38:26 ◼ ► To the majority feeling was it's maybe a one out of ten very very mild another problem a couple paper said I thought it [TS]
01:38:35 ◼ ► was offensive as a lot of people said no offense even in the slightest. Some people had very very mild not a problem. [TS]
01:38:43 ◼ ► I basically right back to the the person who wrote The man said to have thank you very much. [TS]
01:38:49 ◼ ► I sent her a link to the Twitter compensation I said I think you might find is interesting I was a city where there's a [TS]
01:39:07 ◼ ► Well first I did a very similar thing to you on one of my videos a while back to the one where I was talking about how [TS]
01:39:14 ◼ ► to become the British monarch this is around the time of the first royal baby was going to be born yet [TS]
01:39:23 ◼ ► but I was aware that this was a video that might be being shown in primary schools in the U.K. [TS]
01:39:34 ◼ ► but I had the word bastard in their one point yet because one of the rules is don't be a bastard. [TS]
01:39:43 ◼ ► and I thought let me check with Twitter just to see what people's reactions are to the S. [TS]
01:39:47 ◼ ► and It was about the same thing maybe one in ten and most people thought it was it was fine [TS]
01:39:52 ◼ ► and I left it in because it just works way better in the scripts than trying to write around it so I too have done this [TS]
01:40:03 ◼ ► I want people think about this word what if you did you did you was before the video I did not afterwards I please Demi [TS]
01:40:10 ◼ ► and in the category of so mild it never really crosses my attention yeah but the problem with these words [TS]
01:40:22 ◼ ► and so there does seem to be a group of people who regard it as much more serious than I do. [TS]
01:40:32 ◼ ► but before I say what I'm about to say I want to make it really clear that I am one hundred percent behind your policy [TS]
01:40:41 ◼ ► of having a list of words you don't want to say and not saying that I fully support that [TS]
01:40:47 ◼ ► and the totally reasonable position for anyone to take. OK well not everything accurately. [TS]
01:41:01 ◼ ► but not because I think it would be wrong to say them I just as I said before I just do it because it's like a weird [TS]
01:41:06 ◼ ► straight can now I didn't say it because you thought the wrong I did you have a list that you don't say OK it's just [TS]
01:41:11 ◼ ► like a game but a snotty Yeah yeah yeah but I am aware that you don't think that they're wrong [TS]
01:41:22 ◼ ► but I just don't want people to start thinking they were having some kind of argument here we're not OK [TS]
01:41:26 ◼ ► but because we can have a day that we never argue with we haven't had a prizing least serious intense conversation this [TS]
01:41:40 ◼ ► I hope you've enjoyed the forty third and final episode airs that's how I wanted it was great [TS]
01:41:46 ◼ ► but we now have irreconcilable differences I have this feeling about curse words which I have tried to express some [TS]
01:41:54 ◼ ► but has not been received well which is that it's the people who react strongly to curse words that give those curse [TS]
01:42:05 ◼ ► words their power the words would have no power at all were it not for the reactions of people to them [TS]
01:42:15 ◼ ► when I see people kicking up a fuss about a word that is let's say by broad general consensus not a strong curse word [TS]
01:42:27 ◼ ► this is just like the mean thing you are the one who is making this word works the more of a fuss you kick it up you [TS]
01:42:37 ◼ ► are making it stronger if you cared less you would make it weaker and people seem to get angry about this when [TS]
01:42:55 ◼ ► and another word what's the because you're in play ping married what's the most offensive word you're willing to say at [TS]
01:43:05 ◼ ► Orrible things are going I don't want of belief so those two are the terrorists you say even knowing they'll be faked [TS]
01:43:16 ◼ ► knowing the B.B. and I think we can we can use we can use is the king of curse word. [TS]
01:43:24 ◼ ► Using occurs where there is is fair just to use as an example of a pure curse word the I kind of I went even say that [TS]
01:43:33 ◼ ► Although I could I could I could go and and you're right you could join them together and put a break between them [TS]
01:43:42 ◼ ► and like I said I could do that you want to get a little closer together to make it easier for me now you don't do you [TS]
01:43:51 ◼ ► get a little too close to your boundaries you know my wife would love if I swore she thought she would like she always [TS]
01:44:03 ◼ ► asks me to swear like is a trait like she was going to say it once just from Maine she gets all excited [TS]
01:44:16 ◼ ► and even though we're talking many more so in order to avoid people thinking that I'm being hypocritical here. [TS]
01:44:24 ◼ ► Yet one of which is that to be on the i Tunes store you don't want to have to mark the pod cast as explicit yet which [TS]
01:44:38 ◼ ► when I first started the pod cast I was trying to find the list of banned words from Apple just so I could know I quote [TS]
01:44:46 ◼ ► and there is no lest they just have a nice vague sounding explicit words are not allowed so they leave it to the [TS]
01:44:52 ◼ ► judgment of the pod cast. Hosts and the complaints of the masses I guess this is yeah this is what's occurring here. [TS]
01:45:01 ◼ ► but even if Apple said oh we're not going to mark explicit podcast we don't care just upload whatever I would still [TS]
01:45:39 ◼ ► Yeah but then you just look like an eighty it's you know it's like the biggest proof of yeah you look like a prude [TS]
01:46:03 ◼ ► and so I would totally believe it even if I didn't have to do so that's why it's just trying to get around it like [TS]
01:46:10 ◼ ► that's why it bleeped for comedy comedy just for comedy value the podcast The job of the bad guys is to be something [TS]
01:46:17 ◼ ► that people want to listen to and I think it being funny or make people want to listen to it more. [TS]
01:46:25 ◼ ► but so my my general feeling about this then is with the curse words it is people's very reactions that give them their [TS]
01:46:33 ◼ ► power just think about this that I like the thing that happens with little kids is that little kids at some point [TS]
01:46:45 ◼ ► when they start saying them all of the adults in their vicinity just don't respond they just pretend like this this has [TS]
01:46:53 ◼ ► no impact on them do you think the kids would still be as drawn to curse words now. [TS]
01:47:01 ◼ ► but now Lou how this is so attractive now that it's been banned you know I'm a I'm a little kid in the only thing I [TS]
01:47:08 ◼ ► have to do is make a certain series of sounds with my mouth that are totally arbitrary [TS]
01:47:12 ◼ ► and all of the really all of the adults around me their their butt cheeks clench and they draw in their breath [TS]
01:47:18 ◼ ► and it's it's like amazing and so that's why the whole power in any curse word comes from people's reactions [TS]
01:47:31 ◼ ► and I get frustrated with those comments against you in the red it were people I can't believe Brady said this word I [TS]
01:47:36 ◼ ► thought there was a curse word to let it go if you if you this word bothers you so much the best thing that you can do [TS]
01:47:48 ◼ ► Yeah I mean I don't want people calling me on it because we want to discuss that I didn't say carrots which I carry one [TS]
01:47:54 ◼ ► little I'd make that confused night in particular if I have those precious there could be. [TS]
01:48:00 ◼ ► Let me tell you let me tell you a story from my past if you're if you're willing that stress [TS]
01:48:07 ◼ ► and that part café I think you get bored I promise this is a story that involves people usually think it right [TS]
01:48:14 ◼ ► or as great as there's not room for two guys is boring and there might not be go out OK so when I was [TS]
01:48:24 ◼ ► when I was in college one of the physics professors happened to have two young boys in about a needle school age maybe [TS]
01:48:38 ◼ ► Eight and twelve somewhere in that range and this professor did not like cursing just yet is totally fine [TS]
01:48:51 ◼ ► but he did a thing that I always wished he didn't which was before he came into the labs he would have his boys wait [TS]
01:48:58 ◼ ► outside and he would come in and he would tell us. I'm about to bring my boys into the lab. [TS]
01:49:13 ◼ ► and I wish he didn't do that because just again normal civil society if kids are around I'm much less likely to curse [TS]
01:49:24 ◼ ► but it's like you've planted the idea of saying horrible things around kids in my mind in this in this way that is just [TS]
01:49:38 ◼ ► and so I would normally just not think about it much you know that my brain would just kick in [TS]
01:49:42 ◼ ► and he'd sense yourself down because their kids in the room that's just what you do but [TS]
01:49:45 ◼ ► when you come in an excess rest we tell me I'm not allowed to say bad things around your children. [TS]
01:49:59 ◼ ► and I knew I definitely had things slip in a way that I never would have if he had just not said anything if he just [TS]
01:50:10 ◼ ► Gray do you know what this you know this is what it's even know what a got to have it for you kind of are going to [TS]
01:50:18 ◼ ► believe you know the third no secret I'm bleeping than from here on out it's just three. [TS]
01:50:25 ◼ ► I almost think that the that little example is like a microcosm of the broader societal reaction to this stuff and. [TS]
01:50:35 ◼ ► That's why I think it's it is people's reactions that give that give curse words their powers [TS]
01:50:41 ◼ ► and they don't have a home have anything intrinsic in themselves they are just they're just words [TS]
01:50:47 ◼ ► but you know you're using you're using here as things sample which we sort of touched upon for the fog [TS]
01:50:53 ◼ ► and I've often thought you know what the Internet should do just to prove my point is make a campaign about [TS]
01:51:04 ◼ ► and he is an excellent choice of a word because we be tension really have cultural differences [TS]
01:51:11 ◼ ► and misunderstandings here and it's like it's like a word that might be slightly on the edge [TS]
01:51:16 ◼ ► and so if everybody started vastly over reacting to some kind of shockingly dirty sexual word that reaction right if [TS]
01:51:32 ◼ ► You've Yeah you could do that I'm all for changing changing words like the word gay you know it really change didn't [TS]
01:51:44 ◼ ► but I think is a great one because it's just it would demonstrate that the point and it's just so pointless. [TS]
01:51:51 ◼ ► Already so pointless to do it but like I have a little bit of that reaction every time you say the word. [TS]
01:51:58 ◼ ► This pod cast is but a perfect example why have you said it so many times during this recording. [TS]
01:52:04 ◼ ► Precisely because every time you say it I'm creeped out this is this is going to be this is going to be my candidate [TS]
01:52:12 ◼ ► for vast overreaction I was previously trying to think of something else in the closest I came up with was douche bag [TS]
01:52:24 ◼ ► and then you can just demonstrate that you can turn a relatively mild word into some kind of terrible word thinking is [TS]
