Connor Leahy interviews are getting worse and worse public response, and I think it's because he's a bad person to be doing it. I want to see Andrew critch or John Wentworth as the one in debates.
The comments are all over the place in terms of opinion, they both have fans and haters showing up.
It was not an ideal debate, but sparks flew, and I think the chaotic informality of it, actually helped to draw out more details of Verdon's thinking. e/accs debate each other, but they don't like to debate "decel" critics, they prefer to retreat behind their memes and get on with "building". So I give Connor credit for getting more pieces of the e/acc puzzle into view. It's like a mix of Austrian economics, dynamical systems teleology, and darwinistic transhumanism. The next step might be to steelman it with AI tools.
