YouTube can generate those automatically, or you can rip the .mp4 with an online service (just Google around, there are tons), then pass it to something like Otter.ai

We recently released an interview with independent scholar John Wentworth:

It mostly centers around two themes: "abstraction" (forming concepts) and "agency" (dealing with goal-directed systems). 

Check it out!

I'm not much of a LWer these days, but I do co-host a podcast on philosophy and emerging technologies which has a growing library of interviews with LWers:

I suppose I'm interested in both, but that reference is very helpful. I'm also vaguely aware of some literature on what is called "private governance" that would be germane to this discussion.

Interesting claim. We specifically asked him that and he didn't think that was the case, but you could be right!

My admin pointed out the RSS feed (which I assume is what you found) and he's going to see if there's a way to make subscribing easier. 

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Huh, let me ask about that! 

Thanks for your interest.

I'm looking for a really short introduction to light therapy and a rig I can put in my basement-office. Over the years I've noticed my productivity just falls off a goddamn cliff after sundown during the winter months, and I'd like to try to do something about it. 

After the requisite searching I see a dozen or so references across lesswrong, and was wondering if someone could just tell me how the story ends and where I can shop for bulbs. 

For the most part I was thinking about just making things brighter, but I'm open to trying red-light therapy too if people have had success with that.

I'm interested in a sub-field of AI but don't know what to call it.

Thanks for the recommendations. One thing that would is just knowing what this is called. Do your books give it a name?

Not yet. That's part of what we're hoping to learn about here.
