In this week’s episode, we discuss AI, specifically how Grok responded to the prompt “image of Cartesian crisis,” whether AI is conscious, and whether it makes art. What is art, and are humans required to make it, or do search and memory suffice? Not art: the rendering of the national anthem at the Democratic National Convention. Speaking of which: what demographic is most strongly democratic? Answer: Childless, never married women ages 20 – 45. We discuss how this affects policy and society. And: the quasi-announcement that Kennedy may leave the presidential race. Finally—Zack is going off on new adventures.

Hey @bretweinstein @DarkhorsePod have you ever heard of Vox Day? He's a surprisingly influential character on the internet, and a Renaissance man. He was working in video game development during Gamergate, a quasi-predecessor to the Evergreen meltdown. But he's done a lot of other stuff too, was a conservative pundit writer where Ben Shapiro got his start, he has an electronic industrial band....
Most significantly to you, he just put out a book making cases against Neo-Darwinism, probably similar math based things you've heard from Stephen Meyer. He never mentioned you, so I doubt he knows about your Explorer Modes hypothesis. With you both unleashing these ideas almost at the same time, now might be a great time to have him on as a guest.
To sweeten the pot, there's one other area where he has a massive influence: The Manosphere. Chances are we've all heard these "alpha and beta" male metaphors, but your kids might be more familiar with newer terms like "Sigma male," it's become Gen ...
