Deep Questions with Cal Newport · The Truth About Brain Rot · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

I really don't want to be involved in these discussions. podcast-host

Uh I want I I deal with humans. podcast-host

I don't deal with threats to humanity, but say la vie, it's what I'm doing right now. podcast-host

Andreas says podcast-host

Thanks for an interesting newsletter. podcast-host

Do you have book recommendations on the ideology behind AI employees summoning their AI God or Messiah? podcast-host

I do indeed. podcast-host

You should read Adam Becker's book, More Everything Forever. podcast-host

I actually just did a uh a podcast appearance with Adam on Ed Zitron's podcast. podcast-host

It came out last week. podcast-host

Um and I podcast-host

Edit asked me to come on and to talk about rationalism and effect of altruism because I'd written a New York Times op-ed about it. podcast-host

And I said, Oh, you got to have Adam on as well. podcast-host

And Adam, because he spent years researching this book, he talked to a lot of the main figures, including Elias Yukowski. podcast-host

He's read so much of what they've written. podcast-host

And he walks through the history of these movements, what they believe, where they came from, and their we talk about their intersection with some of these existing AI companies. podcast-host

So at the very least, podcast-host

Listen to that conversation, me and Adam with Ed Zitron. podcast-host

Read my New York Times op-ed uh about rationalism from a few weeks ago. podcast-host

If you have more time, read Adam Becker's book. podcast-host
