DarkHorse Podcast with Daniel Schmachtenberger & Bret Weinstein

[@PoliteAF]

I love Daniel's pauses where he plans his delivery of an idea and then delivers it smoothly, rather than stumbling over the mismatch between idea and articulation. I'm going to try to emulate that.

These are the conversations that Eric was referring to when he said We need the capable adults in the seats that matter.

[@tomdivittis2688]

@@beetlo66 yes! I wish they would have addressed that exact point. To some extent, the whole conversation was skimming around the idea that evolution will do what it does, and that no one can be trusted with such power, while simultaneously trying to figure out a mechanism with which to accomplish it. At some point, I’d love to hear Brett discuss the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution. I believe it is one of the big reasons the US has become so horribly corrupt. It added enormous incentives for atrocious behavior by everyone at the federal level, which is the last place you would want such corruption.

[@caleb1031]

​@@beetlo66 There have been very strong leaders in history. Genghis Khan, and George Washington are good examples. Clearly given those two figures capability, and tyranny are not directly proportional. You are conflating capable, with perfect. And if you remember the bluest car conversation, perfect is only as good as the optimization constraints you are operating under. It's not a question of satisfying everybody's constraints, it's about finding the optimal constraints for human life to operate under. In that if viewed on a large timescale essentially every human wants more or less the same things. Food, shelter, security, equality of opportunity, etc. They touched on this when discussing voting, and education. In that the only way to find the human optimum is to educate the populous.

[@lovelessjams2720]

This conversation is so amazing and touches upon so many different vital topics. The transcript should absolutely be combed over and dissected and revisited by these two in my opinion. On every topic they could both go vastly deeper is my thought. Great guests. Excellent discussion guys. A ++++++

[@edwardpatrick7748]

Dude, I’ve been saying to my friends and family that we need to fix the fact that 60% of children-by the fourth grade-can’t read at grade level. And it’s difficult to teach them how to keep up when these algos are competing for the attention of these kids (and their parents’), and the culture-in-never-ending-flux they live in is running economic prosperity to the ground. These same kids will be likely to fail in their educational pursuits, and will become politically disenfranchised, uneducated, and likely uncultivated group. We have the potential to create the infrastructure for the digital natives (the generations of tomorrow-so to speak) so that they can learn how to co exist with technology, and use it as a tool for their development and education, rather than as a means for entertainment, socializing, and consuming. The education system in places like California is not working, and the reason for that is the lack of cultivated citizenry. We have failed to integrate immigrants, and we have exploited them for cheap labor, and the children they bear are beginning at a massive disadvantage with NO social orientation whatsoever, and very little guidance. We need to target those children and create dynamic learning systems so that they can contribute and be part of the fabric. However, to do that, we need an ethos that the social order can imbibe, and these media culture war narratives are fucking this up. We are one humanity. Let’s walk each other home.

[@russv.winkle8764]

Yes the kids are in danger, the algorithms have captured them and education is broken. My daughter tells me classmates hide their phones inside books and TikTok during class time (these are 10-11 year olds). They are being programmed at a developmental stage and their health/happiness is inconsequential. I deeply worry about the youngling's future and the education system is affectively useless at teaching sense making, critical thinking, discernment etc.

[@mcharbo8726]

@@russv.winkle8764 Yup, agreed 100%. It's literally the biggest reason why I'm in education. Like they agreed in this conversation, it'll take 3 generations minimum to turn this ship around, and I've found it so so so so so much easier to reach children, get them thinking, problem solving and asking the right questions, than it is to spark inquisitiveness and curiosity in adults... Hate to say it but in my ability to reach them, my generation and older seem to be a write-off.

[@j.h252]

It was like Bret wanted to ask Daniel if he wants to be his friend, so high is his respect and cheering for Daniel and that's a good choice for quality. Daniel s a complexity-thinker of a rare kind holding always many threads of one theme in his hands, trying to hierarchize them and wave an intelligent and accurate textile with it. Saw him first on Rebel Wisdom together with other thinkers, but his depths, reason, humbleness and broad vision was incomparable with the others. No one got close to the independent student of life who would be a shadow of what he is now as an output of academic schooling these days, which has become more an attribute of triviality but of excellence Daniel has gathered by deep looking and deep diving.

Intellectual ability/Intelligence level: off the charts.

[@Hollowsmith]

The coolest thing about Daniel is despite running intellectual circles around 95% of other people who fancy themselves "public intellectuals", he comes across as so damn friendly and likable and funny. No snooty high-brow pretentiousness. Just a really cool guy whose mind can synthesize a mindblowing array of information across philosophy, bioscience, physics, game theory, comp sci, evolutionary theory, etc. It's weird that he's real.

Beautiful... I want to have a belonging with integrity/reality first. Its taken me 3 sittings to get through this, and I suspect, it'll drop back into this conversation a bunch more time. Thank you!

alone, was the answer I was hoping to hear. That makes me feel less alone.

Omg just broke up with my boyfriend and cried for hours, then I opened KZbin and saw this, wow Jesus does love me 🙌

[@rainmaker6261]

Hey, at least you got to keep the cat. Could have been worse.

What's up?

[@Uspewtube]

Might as well shack up with this Jesus guy

[@rainmaker6261]

@@Uspewtube idk, this danbsc guy seems like a real catch.

[@tysparks598]

You're better off with the cat. I told my GF & she yelled, "Tell her, 'Good riddance!'" from the bathroom. So there's that. Take what you will from it.
