“I've listened to every episode, some more than once, and I can't wait for the next one. The hosts are funny and likable. The show provides a light, entertaining introduction to the ideas explored on the "Less Wrong" website, which I also highly recommend. The general topic is human cognitive biases and how to overcome them for the sake of becoming more rational, but they cover a wide variety of topics, some of which are more frivolous and fun, others of which are quite serious, but it's always done in a spirit of good humor and curiosity. It's a beautiful dream and I wish more people were dedicated to its pursuit. (1/3rd of the crew here is largely responsible for the "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" podcast, which was originally written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, the host of the Less Wrong website, which I also recommend.)”
