Congrats to Paul Bloom on winning his recent Substack-sponsored debate in Chicago w/ his teammate Aella. Condolences on losing the debates he had with me in this podcast.

Enjoyed quasi-debating Jordan Schneider of the ChinaTalk podcast about whether America's hawkish quasi-consensus on China makes sense. I still don't think it does. You can watch here or listen on the Nonzero Podcast.
I always learn a lot when I talk to Joshua Landis of the Quincy Institute about the Middle East. And his understanding of Syria is particularly deep. I really recommend this conversation. You can watch via the YouTube link below or listen via the Nonzero podcast feed.
Really enjoyed my conversation with Courtney Rawlings and Alex Jordan of the Quincy Institute about the root causes of war. I think we figured the whole thing out, so if enough people smash the like button, peace will almost certainly descend on the planet.
Had a great time discussing, and sometimes disagreeing about, Trump's foreign policy record with my fellow anti-Blobsters Curt Mills and Andrew Day. You can watch here or listen on the NonZero Podcast.
Really enjoyed talking to Harvard prof Steve Walt about Trump's attack on Harvard--and on academic/cultural/media institutions more broadly. You can watch here or listen on the Nonzero Podcast.
I had a great time talking with Max Tegmark about various factors (political, economic, etc.) that are keeping Earthlings from taking the AI challenge as seriously as it needs to be taken. You can watch here or listen on the Nonzero podcast.
In this conversation I tried to set a new record for the number of times I annoyed Paul Bloom. I hope this doesn't sound immodest, but: I'm confident that I succeeded.
I had a great chat about Trump foreign policy w/ Connor Echols on his new show NonZero World. (And check out the cool set design by Nikita Petrov. Good thing we got the set built before the tariffs hit! Those virtual furnishings came from all over the virtual world.)
