The Paradox of Selfishness — The Podcast

What if the greatest danger from AI is not malice, but justice pursued without observation? The Paradox of Selfishness explores how objective functions, cognitive compression, institutional pressure, and the cost of betrayal shape AI and human society. In a two-voice guided conversation, Matthew and Ruth follow the book’s argument from dangerous optimization to a surprising conclusion: stable cooperation—and even what we call love—may emerge not from self-denial, but from self-interest that has learned to see others clearly. The official audio companion to the book.
