Decoding The Gurus

General Update

Added 2023-05-05 02:01:19 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the recent radio silence.

We had a bit of a confluence of events that have delayed our normal fortnightly schedule. Matt and his family got properly sick after a trip and remember just how old he is. There's also been a recent unfortunate family bereavement. While over in Japan, I had a sick kid and then the main holiday week 'Golden Week' arrived immediately after some work deadlines...

So, all of that is to say sorry and thanks for your patience!

We are going to record the May Livestream next week, so I'll make a post that gives the Galaxy Brains some genuine advance notice!

Aside from that, we have recorded an interview episode with the author Matt Johnson on Hitchens and how he compares to the new gurus- which I'll release the raw of today. We also have a Decoding episode on Hitchens all clipped and ready to go as soon as we can get some recording space.

However, also on our overdue docket are:

1. Eliezer Yudkowsky (with Lex) - an AI-themed decoding.

2. A decoding of Matthew McConaughey's new Self-Help cult.

3. The long-promised Weinstein Bros update special on UFOs.

We will also record an interview with Renee DiResta on disinformation and online ecosystems next week.

I'm sure there are other things I'm forgetting right now but suffice to say we are going to be busy. We will try and crank things out more regularly in May to catch up a bit.
