Podcasts are mid, but there should be one to get exposure to unknown, unusual, smart people.
Basic premise is as follows:
- For the first episode, the host invites his smartest friend and asks him questions from his field
- At the end of the episode, the guest says who the smartest person he/she knows and invites him
- The next guest should not be from the same field
- A decent idea is to change hosts each episode, so that the last guest becomes the host
Questions I would like to see being asked:
- What should more people be working on to make civilizational quantum leap a reality?
- Provide a list of 3 most impactful papers and books that influenced your life and explain why.
