I really enjoyed this show. Interesting guests, civil conversation, fascinating ideas.
But then… Marcus tells us that we should expand this wonderful idea of being non-binary to other things besides gender identity.

Stick to computers and AI and leave the difficult stuff to us feminists, Gary love.

The host does an excellent job of extracting the most relevant information in a layman’s terms.
One criticism—in the episode on self-driving cars, it seems like a pretty big oversight not to compare rates of self-driving car accidents to regular accidents. Isn’t a central issue how the two compare? And how much better do self-driving cars need to be than humans on average before we’re willing to accept some risk with self-driving cars?
