Things Hidden #33 - Effective Altruism

Greetings from Austin! I welcome the opportunity to bring to you Things Hidden. Episode #33 of the Things Hidden podcast is out now!

Effective Altruism has been all over the news lately. The movement/philosophy/pseudo-religion sits at the absolute epicenter of the AI revolution. EA is all over AI. They are simultaneously trying to both build AI and slow AI down. Why is that?

In this episode, we look at the philosophies underpinning EA, and we connect dots to understand why EA believes what they believe, and why EA does what they do.

There is glaringly obvious God-shaped hole in the entire ideology. And that hole is remarkably underdiscussed in all the discourse around EA (of which there is plenty). So we get into that too. Because that’s the thing hidden.

If you’re enjoying Things Hidden, like and subscribe on YouTube. Leave a comment. That’s the best way to help Things Hidden. I’m trying to get the numbers up a bit more and then I want to start having guests. The YouTube algorithm is a strange beast, but liking, subscribing and commenting help a ton.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments you might have. I continue to have phone calls with folks who reached out after watching Things Hidden and wanted to have a discussion about faith. I welcome those discussions, regardless of your vantage point.

Be well.
