63: Phil Christman and Leah Libresco Sargeant on Effective Altruism
Release Date: 06/21/2023
Description: The Good Samaritan and the effective Altruist meet in the retelling of Luke 10:30–37. The movement that most recently hit the headlines with the downfall of Sam Bankman-Fried deserves a more sympathetic treatment than it had on the last PloughCast we covered it on. What are its tenets, and how does it work as an ethical system? Leah, who considers herself an effective altruist, leads Phil, Susannah, and Pete on a tour of Effective Altruism and its affiliated movements, including extreme long-termism and the mysterious world of the “postrats.”

66: The Technology of Demons
Release Date: 08/02/2023
Description: The PloughCast team talk with Paul Kingsnorth about artificial intelligence and demons. Kingsnorth, an environmental activist, novelist, former Wiccan priest, and recent Christian convert, joins Susannah, Madoc, and Alan to talk about the eternal temptations represented by technological society. How has his recent conversion changed the way he experiences the world? What insights from his earlier life and work have persisted, which ones have been transformed, and what is the relationship between the worship of Mammon and the dangers posed by AI? They also discuss how to live well in the coming age, and the lessons to be drawn from the Desert Fathers.

67: David Bentley Hart and the Worship of Mammon
Release Date: 08/16/2023
Description: The PloughCast team talks with a philosopher and cultural commentator about money. David Bentley Hart reflects on how his experience translating the New Testament impacted his understanding of Jesus’ teaching on mammon. How are we supposed to live out these extreme and demanding teachings? What is the role of Proverbs-style Old Testament prudence in the life of a New Testament disciple? They also discuss why joining a community like the Bruderhof is not enough, and why the separation between private piety and political economy makes no sense. In a world where we are still waiting for the kingdom to finally come, how can we pursue living in that kingdom?
