Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Horn, "Inside the Competitor's Mindset: How to Predict Their Next Move and Position Yourself for Success" (MIT Press, 2023)
Q: What inspired you to write this book?
My experience at McKinsey and the realization that understanding competitors' actions as rational can assist in strategy formation.
Rebecca Charbonneau, "Mixed Signals: Alien Communication Across the Iron Curtain" (Polity, 2024)
Q: What led to the decline of SETI with a C and the rise of SETI with an S?
The end of the Cold War saw a decline in cooperative SETI efforts due to funding cuts and a shift in focus towards private funding sources, leading to a cultural shift and fatigue within the scientific community regarding the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Rebecca Charbonneau, "Mixed Signals: Alien Communication Across the Iron Curtain" (Polity, 2024)
Q: Can you tell us a bit more about the differences between US SETI and Soviet SETI?
U.S. SETI struggled for funding and was often seen as less serious, while Soviet SETI benefited from centralized scientific funding and thus could launch more searches, fostering a different approach to extraterrestrial communication based on their cultural ideologies.
Rebecca Charbonneau, "Mixed Signals: Alien Communication Across the Iron Curtain" (Polity, 2024)
Q: To what extent were these SETI scientists or radio astronomers more broadly military scientists?
Most radio astronomers, while using military-developed technology, were curious scientists interested in understanding the universe rather than military personnel. However, the history of radio astronomy is deeply intertwined with military advancements.
Rebecca Charbonneau, "Mixed Signals: Alien Communication Across the Iron Curtain" (Polity, 2024)
Q: What is SETI?
SETI, commonly known as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, started as an effort focused on Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence, referring specifically to the early attempts to contact extraterrestrials using radio astronomy infrastructure.
