WATCH FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/8w0vEQBxbgU .@SamHarrisOrg on @realDonaldTrump tactics: asymmetric warfare, fake news & bullsh*t v lying-@jason-THX @DesignCrowd In this Part 2 episode, Jason and Sam continue their exploration of the Trump Phenomenon, social media and fake news, and the benefits and threats of A.I. The thematic question to ask ourselves is: what sort of society do we want to live in? As technology becomes more powerful, and as more jobs become obviated by intelligent machines, Sam highlights that we need to figure out how to redistribute wealth to the better part of humanity. He reminds us though, that it’s not all depressing, and that with the right approach, we are living in the first moment of human history where we can plausibly imagine virtually everything changing.
