Excellent conversation between @tylercowen and @dwarkesh_sp on many things, most interestingly about people and psychosis. Recommend!
I particularly liked this bit: "I think people are actually very bad at being coherent around sentient creatures," Dwarkesh observes. "You see this especially clearly with factory farming. If you think biological substrates are capable of suffering, there’s a pretty robust case that we have 100 billion animals that are suffering a great deal in the world today." Yes indeed.
