His book on Animal Liberation basically started the animal rights movement and his textbook on Practical Ethics is the standard philosophy text of first-year students.

Singularity.FMEntrepreneurial Activist Joi Ito on Whiplash and the MIT Media LabJoi Ito is just one of those people who simply don’t fit a mold. Any mold. He is an entrepreneur who is an activist. He is an academic without a degree. He is a leader who follows. He is a teacher who listens. And an interlocutor who wants you to disagree with him. Overall, I hate […]2018-05-051h 25

Singularity.FMQuid and Primer Founder Sean Gourley: If You Don’t Own the Algorithm, the Algorithm Owns YouIt was all the way back in 2013 when Sean Gourley published a blog post titled Prediction just is a parlor trick.

Singularity.FMDeconstructing Socrates & the Future of Singularity 1on1: Nikola Danaylov Gets Interviewedhttps://konoz.io/nikola.danaylov Every once-in-a-while, it is a good thing to do a headstand and look at the world from a different perspective. In podcasting terms that would mean putting Socrates in the hotseat and making me answer questions, rather than let me hide in asking them. And I could’t think of a person better qualified to do that than Trevor Haldenby. Trevor is one of the masterminds behind the ByoLogic BRX Virus Outbreak episode I did a couple of years ago as well as a very skilled interviewer and story-teller. And so I was not surprised I...2016-09-021h 16

Singularity.FMNikola Danaylov and John Rennie on TRT World News: Are we nearing the Singularity?This is the audio of me - Nikola Danaylov, and John Rennie participating in a very short televised debate for TRT World News titled “Are we nearing the Singularity?”. Now, I was totally green-screened, had no TV monitor to look at, my ear-piece — the only input of connecting with the host and my interlocutor kept popping out of my ear, and, as you will see, I am not even in focus. Not sleeping for several days in a row doesn’t help either but, other than than that, I think it was all perfect. ? Synopsis: After a computer out-smarts a human at...2016-07-1016 min
