A Heap of David Brin Links

March 30, 2014 by Mark Linsenmayer 1 Comment

If you wanted to hear or read more from David, the place to start is his blog Contrary Brin. Here also is a collection of articles, nicely categorized, which in turn links to this collection of interviews.

A couple of the topics he touched on with us include the "disputation arenas" and self-righteousness as an addiction.

Here's David's TED-X Talk, where you can hear a bunch of the very lines (often with the same intonation!) as were delivered on the podcast (and you can hear some bits that I edited out, such as the "lamps on the brow" bit):

Watch on YouTube.

So I challenge you folks to take the time you've put into this guy, whether just listening to him on our show, or looking at the above, or reading his books (some of which you really may well like even if you have not much interest in him as a speaker), and use the comments section here to point out and thresh out what worthwhile philosophical insights you find in here.

    He wrote a great article on METI. Any remaining technocrats out there will surely have their faith shaken – experts won’t always share your values (e.g. how much existential risk is too much).

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
