This week we are talking about billionaires and what makes them different than the rest of us. Why do they put so much stock into utopian fantasies of human salvation on Mars? Who do they believe Artificial General Intelligence will solve all of Earth's problems if we just allow for it to be born (with as few regulations in place as possible)? Why do they seem to care so little about other people? Our guide on this episode is a recent article in Rolling Stone by Alex Morris that gets at some of the psychological underpinnings of these questions while also pointing out how truly ridiculous some of these ambitions are.
We open the episode by discussing the recent US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites and what this bodes for the future.
