“Dwarkesh Patel’s superpower is he actually reads (or at least skims) the books and papers of the people he’s about to interview. The only other interviewer this informed is Tyler Cowen, who says Patel is “highly rated but underrated!” Exactly right! Patel’s preparation delights the person being interviewed, allowing for far more technical depth than you can find anywhere else. Recent interviews of Steve Hsu, Austin Vernon, and Charles Mann are outstanding. They cover topics from IVF, embryo selection, nuclear power, Toyota production system, CO2 electrolysis, geoengineering, collapse of Native American societies after 1492 from disease, wizards v prophets, longermism. And all these topics discussed were discussed without dumbing them down. Challenging and enjoyable. 👍”
