Catch up on what we have been listening to —

“What does the good future look like? Where are we trying to get to?” — David Robinson, former OpenAI researcher, with Ezra Klein.

As we race toward superintelligence, we need a shared vision for the future we want to create.

AI may help us find solutions we haven’t imagined, but we must learn to question its answers and seek truth together.

That’s what Navigating the Apocalypse is about: finding the skillful path forward, together.

We don’t just need superintelligence. We need super-wisdom to guide it.

Our future depends on asking the right questions. Join the conversation.

@sarahlongwell25: "Jon Ossoff right now couldn't have more juice with voters. When I do the focus groups in Georgia, even if people aren't voting for him, they want to talk about how he's clearly winning people over."

In a recent Ezra Klein Show episode, “Is the World Getting Uglier?”, Ezra made several arguments about how design culture is deteriorating. While some points were interesting, the episode felt largely like a setup to critique Trump’s classical, gold-accented aesthetic- of which I am no fan either.

Midway through, Ezra noted that people are increasingly painting their homes gray to maximize resale value. He argued that these neutralized homes aren’t really intended for anyone to live in and lack personal self-expression. I disagree. These homes are very much designed to be lived in.

Ezra and his guest overlook a fundamental principle of color theory: a gray or white wall creates a neutral backdrop that unifies diverse elements. A rust-colored sofa, an eggplant-colored bedcover, and a 1960s multicolored abstract painting can effortlessly coexist against a neutral plane. The backdrop acts as a canvas, allowing disparate pieces to harmonize as a cohesive ensemble.

Externally, that same neutral wall serves to highlight and elevate the complex shades of green in the surrounding landscape rather than compete with them.

Far from being lifeless, a neutral envelope invites the inhabitant to express their individual identity. It adapts to the inhabitant’s personal tastes and allows those tastes to evolve.

How do billionaires like Jeff Bezos fund lavish lifestyles without selling stock or immediately paying back what they borrow?

The answer comes down to how differently the ultra-wealthy borrow money. When banks are happy to keep lending, paying off the loan isn’t necessarily the goal.

Here’s why the rules of borrowing look very different at the top.

Not long ago, the ultra-wealthy were celebrated as the people who could save the world. Today, that idea might get a very different reaction.

With so much of America’s wealth concentrated in the hands of the richest 1%, public perception of billionaires and their role in society has shifted dramatically.

We are having the wrong conversation about taxing the ultra-wealthy.

Here’s why we need to move the conversation beyond the “goodness” of billionaires themselves and focus on the holes in the system.
