  • Love Scott’s intelligent

    and studied assessments- BUT this podcast uploads a week after his measured takes on any current news. Disappointed that I have to go to yucktube for Current insights from him on the news that happened today. Scott Horton is rad and hella smart. Hoping the podcast isn’t neutered in the future.

  • Episodes starting mid-interview

    Five stars for the content, but episodes have recently started out with Scott or the guest in the middle of a sentence, so it seems like the first few minutes or so are getting cut out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

10/16/26 Robert Wright on the Threats Posed by AI
Q: What job is it that humans now do that you think machines won't ever be able to do?
Wright says it is difficult to identify work that AI will never perform given the pace of development. He points to advances in writing, coding and robotics, and notes that entry-level work is already vulnerable.
10/16/26 Robert Wright on the Threats Posed by AI
Q: Why don't we start with that and how you can see the reality of the, I guess, near term situation here as far as that goes.
Wright says AI will be hugely consequential because neural networks can learn cognitive tasks from data, while increasingly autonomous agents can pursue goals and work around obstacles. He warns of job disruption, social instability, geopolitical risks and potential loss of control.
10/16/26 Joseph Solis-Mullen on the Concerning Collapse of Ethiopia
Q: Can Ethiopia win a war against Eritrea and march to the city?
Solis-Mullen thinks Ethiopian forces could reach and capture territory, but holding it would be difficult because of insurgencies behind the front lines and the challenging mountainous terrain.
10/16/26 Joseph Solis-Mullen on the Concerning Collapse of Ethiopia
Q: What is the role of the United States in this?
Solis-Mullen says Washington favors Ethiopia because of its market, strategic position, and business opportunities, while trying to contain escalation. He describes competing interests in Washington, including firms seeking aircraft, weapons, and technology deals, and says those interests may tolerate risks to Ethiopians while limiting Chinese influence.
10/16/26 Larry Johnson on Iran, Lebanon and Yemen
Q: How about your national security advisor? And Donald Trump is actually willing to listen to you for a second. What do you tell him? How to handle this, man?
Johnson says there is no viable military option without a clear objective, and explains that Iran's many concealed missile and drone sites cannot all be eliminated militarily.
