Thanks!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback :) There’s lighting and stuff too, it was basically 5 days of total full time work tweaking the setup - share.icloud.com/photos/044X5TzLxD9uqrIPXDNLc2Huw I’m willing to put in the work because the world needs high-quality Doom Debates to happen!

Thanks! Ya I think that mic position is the winner. The debate happened today, dropping on Monday, and I think I did take into account what you mentioned.

@@DoomDebates Looking forward to it!!!

@@MirceaBurdusa Thanks for the feedback, I’ll work on that

Not related to the debate but I think you're a bit unfair towards evolution in the way you call it a bad designer. The difference between living beings and evolution designing things is that evolution only has a small amount of output data it can work with. Assuming I'm right it seems like it's only able to tell if a design choice is successful or not by how often on average a species is able to survive in an environment. Somehow it has direct access to information of the objective reality and it uses that to create our interface (sense perceptions). So when humans design something we are being given tools that skip over this direct information needed to gain feedback about success. It's like we're given a desktop computer to make programs and we don't have to know the inner workings of what's really going on we have high level tools that let us simply figure out what works and what doesn't work quickly. On the other hand evolution only seems to get a pass or fail and that's all it gets along with being capped at only making changes over millions of years. My point is that what it's doing is completely impossible for us because we don't perceive objective reality and we owe it to this force that designed our senses. It also has to deal with fitness pay offs and ecosystems of how the whole picture fits together. When we design something like a plane we don't have to worry about whether our new changes will affect other creatures (even though we probably should). In that way, it has to be careful not to make an overpowered species that will dominate all other life. We may be a failing of that since we exceeded everything else that has been tried. Also, when it pushes out a patch it doesn't have the luxury of just directly eliminating a species it has to deal with the consequences.

Amazing what getting roasted by KZfaq commenters can do 😂

@@DoomDebates 😅haha yup

@@aubreyblackburn506 I watched it ya, don’t remember it being that brutal but of course I agreed with Roman

The debate happened, it's recorded! The podcast episode is dropping on Monday.

@@DoomDebates #weekendearlydrop #please

​@@consumidorbrasileiro222 Here's how I think about this: 1. Weekdays are better for a big episode drop since more people are around on social media to help spread it around 2. I want to make a more polished product with a couple days for light editing 3. Since I expect this to be a popular episode, I want to insert an intro beforehand where I plug a couple things like the pauseai.info organization At some point I'm strongly considering making a premium subscriber tier, something like $10/month via my Substack (or Patreon if ppl prefer), where you could get access to "superfan" content like an early release of a rougher edit. What do you think? Regardless, the vast majority of the content will always be free since the goal of Doom Debates is to raise public awareness.

@@DoomDebates 👏👏

@@davidmjacobson Lol yup. I had Robin scheduled for 2 hours and we got through about 2/3 of my outline, didn’t hit everything I mentioned here. But I’m pretty satisfied I got to focus on the questions that were most salient to me about Robin’s worldview.
