I interviewed Nabeel Qureshi about some of the most important things that make us human at a time when AI is making us really question what makes us unique. What does it mean to care, and is caring an antidote to a world of increasing "slop?" What actually is slop, and what makes media, art, products, design, or work meaningful? Why do the best new things have elements of strangeness and unpredictability? When every answer is a keystroke away, what does it mean to truly learn and understand things? What does it mean to have "the will to think?" How can we live a life of continuous growth? How can constantly update our thinking? Lots more too, like video games as a template for education; why Palantir's culture is special and able to deal with nuance while working on "grey area" problems; DOGE and bureaucracy, power and tech; what makes Tyler Cowen special; Nabeel's idea maze for his new company; why Tolstoy was wrong about Shakespeare... Nabeel contains multitudes. Available on all platforms below.

Oh my ! This was quite a hard time for me in 2016. Seeing this image brings back memory full of pain and deep introspection. Will take a look at this interview later today

wow, this is one of the first podcasts i listened to because you’d replied to me on fc but I knew neither the interviewer or the interviewee, fucking excellent. honestly just went down a hole reading your transcripts and to be honest, i may legitimately start blogging to clear up some of my thinking, but really enjoy your perspective. curious, for you @jackson - how do you think about slop if you look at abstract Impressionism? how much sits on the mind of the consumer’s impression of care versus the artist’s actual amount of care. like let’s take beeple, we can argue digital art feels careless, but is beeples time spent playing in rendering tools slop or not? where do you feel or understand the line?
