I think consumer society is an arrangement without a future. I'm trying to figure out how to become a postconsumer and spend my time working on the lifeboat flotilla. This podcast is about practical, personal choices we can make to meet the future we're actually going to get head on.

Pessimism, Xrisk, Dissensus, and Sailing Adventures, a Flotilla Chat | Episode 16
When Matt emailed me out of the blue to tell me he thought I was pessimistic and that he disagreed with several of the things I’ve said on the podcast, I knew we had to talk. We discuss:
pessimism
xrisk, including AI, his interest,
risk at the scale of the personal life, and why Matt chose to introduce risk into his life,
By the way, we mention but don’t discuss much in depth the concept of dissensus. I was introduced to the word by JMG’s writing, probably this post from 2008. I recommend it. The concept is central to much of my thinking.
