7.13: A Healthy Tension

Chris and Stephen talk about an interesting article… and then pivot to the nature of this podcast and some of their healthy differences—about the show, and in approach to these questions in general.

• Isaac Asimov’s Caves of Steel
• Alan Jacobs’ Pinboard
• “The Web Falls Apart”
• Chris’ newsletter Across the Sundering Seas the last couple weeks, on progress and decline:
  • Flux (#27)
  • Edges (#28)
• Jaron Lanier
• Your Undivided Attention, Episode 9: The Dictator’s Playbook
• Chris’ Christology class

Chris also wrote a follow-up post on Twitter bots and decline, to which Stephen thoughtfully replied.

• “Emerge” by Liam J. Hennessy
• “Winning Slowly Theme” by Chris Krycho.
