Dr N -- thanks for this interview! Your channel is now full of lots of interviews I have yet to listen to, I have not been keeping up. I also see you are labeling yourself a philosopher -- that is well deserved :-).
I consider the three biggest philosophic problems to be: Mind/physical interface; the nature of values and valuing; and how we as an anthropologic species (evolutionarily tuned for small tribe hunter-gathering) can live successfully as a sociological one (In massive interdependent communities). Michael's work is addressing the third of those issues, and looks like one of the more useful avenues of approaching it.
Some of your interviews exercise me to write a critique of the interviewer's thinking, which you have been nicely supportive of. This one inspired me to order Michal Muthukrishna's book, as his ideas seem very fruitful to dig into more deeply.
Thanks again, for everything about this channel. Interesting interviewees, such an open minded and non-constrictive interview style, and collectively an immersive deep dive into the more challenging problems of philosophy and their diversity of attempted resolution approaches!

Wow. Thank you so much for these kind words. I'm really glad you're finding so much value in these conversations and grateful that you take the time out to engage. It makes it all so much more worth it. 🙏🏽

I wanted to buy the audiobook version, but it seems the author prefers podcasting 😂

[@drtevinnaidu]

I recommend it nonetheless! Lots more in the book 😁
