Interview: Hear this Idea with Fin Moorhouse and Luca Righetti

by Jason Crawford · May 17, 2022 · 1 min read

I was interviewed for the Hear this Idea podcast by Fin Moorhouse and Luca Righetti. We had a long, fun, in-depth conversation.

In our conversation, we discuss:

• What progress is, and why it matters (maybe more than you think)
• How to think about resource constraints — why they are sometimes both real and surmountable
• The ‘low-hanging fruit’ explanation for stagnation, and prospects for speeding up innovation
• Tradeoffs between progress and (existential) safety
• Differences between the Progress Studies and Effective Altruism communities
