Podcast named after chapter 7 of David Deutsch's "The Beginning of Infinity". Trying to understand the mind using Popperian and Deutschian ideas! To build AGI, we need to reject neuroscience and narrow-AI research. We need to understand how knowledge is created and build a universal explainer instead. Listen to my podcast on artificial creativity and buy my book "A Window on Intelligence" to find out why.

Important: Read medical disclaimer at the bottom before listening Today I’m speaking with Nick Hudson.

We explore how bad epistemology and political philosophy lead to tangible harm in society, and how we *should* treat each other during this pandemic instead. I learned a lot—some questions that...

FAQs
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
