Is a transcript available, or likely to become so?

I just finished transcribing a different interview that I conducted, and transcribing audio takes forever. Since the audio quality on this podcast is so good I don't think I'm going to transcribe. However if someone else volunteers to do so, I would be very grateful and will link to the transcript on Putanumonit.

I’m really excited to make my podcast debut on The Switch podcast with Chase Harris and Alex Berner. Here are the links on Apple Podcasts, Play Music, and Spotify.

Topics we covered:

How business school led me to rationality.
The origin story and meaning of Putanumonit.
How to put numbers on things where no numbers exist.
Contextualizing and decoupling in the saga of Caster Semenya.
Does putting numbers on dating make me an emotionless robot?
Rationality, mindfulness, and poking your head above the river.
The posts I regret writing.
Antinatalism and the connection between emotion and philosophy.
How intuition follows controversy, and why hunter-gatherers don’t have opinions on immigration.
Fake frameworks as the key to rationality and why I prefer Magic the Gathering personality color wheel to the big 5 personality system or MBTI.
Rationality alone and in a group.
Why soccer is a supreme entertainment product, aesthetic experience, and showcase of virtue.
MMA as a gateway drug to loving sports.
