Julia Lampert has written a practical manual for the How, and then spends her opening chapter arguing that the Why is the only thing that matters. We spent three hours on it.

Technology is the How. It was never the Why or the What. Julia Lampert has written a practical manual for the How, and then spends her opening chapter arguing that the Why is the only thing that matters. So I spent three hours trying to find where that breaks.
Topics: Scratching before it itches · Her doctorate: utopias, dystopias and atopias in Jerusalem 2060 · Complicated problems versus complex ones · Can AI help with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? · How Julia became a futurist · What does AI native actually mean?

In this third conversation with Steven Kotler — our first in 14 years — we dig into his latest book, We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance, co-written with Peter Diamandis. And while the book makes a powerful case for abundance, I came prepared to challenge it.

We don’t need more AI. We need a better why for our AI. We are told the why is obvious — cure everything, fix everything, transcend everything. But “solve everything” is not a philosophy.

Guest: Ada Palmer
Was the Renaissance truly a Golden Age? Or was it something far more powerful — and far more revealing? In my third conversation with Ada Palmer, we dive into her new book, Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age, and dismantle one of the most enduring myths in Western history: that civilization moves cleanly from darkness to light.

What if some contradictions are not mistakes — but truths? For over 2,500 years, Western philosophy has treated contradiction as catastrophic.
