Yeah this podcast at times really needs and editor or someone to sit the hosts down and be like "ummm skittering around like a waterbug isn't good journalism, create more structure".

Some more detailed thoughts after getting all the way through.

This really should have been a 2 part episode/discussion:

Part I: SF rationalist scene/less wrong/effective altruism/(light touch on SSC/SBF)+ its relationship to transhumanism/trans/polyamory

Part IIa: The main characters involved in Ziz world, how they relate to the above and each other. 

Part IIb: Timeline of craziness

Part IIc: Speculation/broader trends/etc.

I would be annoyed by an entire episode that devoted itself just to the background of the rationalist community which I donтАЩt care about, especially if the second part wouldnтАЩt come out for another week
