Robin Hanson Highlights and Post-Debate Analysis
from Doom Debates! Hosted by Liron Shapira
What did we learn from my debate with Robin Hanson? Did we successfully isolate the cruxes of disagreement? I actually think we did! In this post-debate analysis, we’ll review what those key cruxes are, and why I still think I’m right and Robin is wrong about them! I’ve taken the time to think much harder about everything Robin said during the debate, so I can give you new & better counterarguments than the ones I was able to make in realtime.
