After drinking with friends one evening, Beyhan Mutlu, a 50-year-old from Bursa province, wandered off into a forest and didn't return home.

The next morning Mutlu came across the search group alerted by his family and decided to help them look for the "missing person".

Very interesting discussion by Michael Sandel and @DAcemogluMIT on democracy in the age of AI - including the important topic of the unwarranted (and often deeply embarrassing) attribution of social and even intellectual esteem and deference to financial and tech elites.

Well worth listening to.

Overthinking is the art of creating problems that don’t exist.

I wrote a short article, “Competitive Multilateralism and the Future of Global Governance,” for E-International Relations. In this piece, I explore how liberal internationalism is giving way to a more fragmented and competitive form of multilateralism. https://t.co/qVpnnZADk4
