I’m the host of The Lunar Society Podcast, where I interview intellectuals, scientists, and founders about their big ideas (YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify). Previous guests include David Deutsch, Tyler Cowen, and Sam Bankman-Fried.
I also blog about science, tech, talent, and the long-term.

Tyler Cowen (source): “Highly rated but still underrated!”
On great scientists and their miracle years. Side note, I believe none of the work of Einstein, Newton, Copernicus, Darwin, von Nuemann, or Gauss was peer reviewed. Has the method of science regressed? @dwarkesh_sp
"Ken Thompson built the basic chassis of UNIX in a week when his wife went on vacation and he had a lot of time on his hands."
Dwarkesh is one of the best young podcasters alive.

Best blog I discovered in 2022 so far

To my taste, @dwarkesh_sp is probably the best podcaster there is right now. Both he and @tylercowen research their guests in depth and try to ask novel questions. But Dwarkesh is more serious about intellectual exploration (at the expense of cultural aspects)
Dwarkesh is my favorite interviewer because:
- he steers guests away from the "regurgitated book" rut
- he actually engages with their ideas, via quite thoughtful critiques
- I think he sometimes comes up with those on the fly, which is super impressive
Criminally underrated imo!
