Antithesis, the government is a corrupt cesspool. It's a, you know, it's a ball of worms and it has to be destroyed and taken over by a benevolent or non-benevolent dictator. And synthesis, which is that... The government's process has made it not a functional state. It's non-responsive in many important ways.

or getting AI to write the first draft of something, that's where all the intelligence happens in my view. I think one advantage I have over a lot of other podcast hosts who superficially do what I do, probably this is true for you, I'm sure this is true for you, I know, is that I really do do the reading.

No summary is equivalent to me doing the reading and sitting there and making the associations myself and spending the time in the book and then sort of thinking about what it brought up in me. I write the first draft. ChatGPT cannot write the first draft of my book. The first draft is fucking hard to write.

And it's often hard because it's completely wrong, but not because it's narrowly wrong, right? ChatGPT will never tell you that the problem with what you're trying to do is that you're just trying to do the wrong thing. It'll never tell you if you tell it to write a first draft, that's the wrong direction for this draft. Some part of you has to know it.
