“Great interviewer initially and used to be 5 stars. The latest episode with Leopold is giving air time and support to friends with shaky ideas over accomplished guests. It’s actually hard to listen to the amount of validation of credentials (how many times is it worth mentioning that this guy was valedictorian in college) and awkward in-jokes they make instead of talking about the subject at hand in a serious manner.
This would be a 1 star if it he didn’t have recent good guests like Zuck and still have previous great episodes to make up for it, but I fear Dwarkesh has jumped the shark or stepped into the deep end in a topic that he’s not ready for and his “friends” are willing to use him as a mouthpiece since he’s impressed by the credentialism rather then arguments. High potential still if he’s able to realize this and course correct.”
