"AP sports I'm David Shuster, one game in both the NBA and NHL playoffs Sunday and they were completely different from a competitive standpoint. We start in the NBA with geth and kuba filling us in on Miami and Boston. The Miami Heat cruise to a three O series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after blowing out the Boston Celtics one 28 one O two at home in game three. Gabe Vincent pace the heat with a playoff career high 29 points on 11 of 14 shooting. Caleb Martin added 18 points, Jimmy Butler scored 16 and bam adebayo 13. Boston stars Jayson Tatum and jaylen Brown were held to 14 and 12 points respectively on a combined 12 of 35 shooting. Miami can clinch its second NBA Finals birth in four seasons with a win in game four Tuesday. And now over to hockey with Mark Myers reporting on Las Vegas and Dallas. Chandler Stephenson scored early in overtime to give the golden knights a three to two win over the stars and a two O series lead the knights were able to tie the score in the final minute of regulation on a goal by Jonathan Marshall, Aiden hill made 26 saves in the Vegas nets, Jake Avengers stopped 21 shots for the stars who were now zero in four and overtime games this postseason. Turning to baseball, Houston completed a three game sweep of Oakland Sunday's final two zero and how bad are the a's well they're on pace to lose 138 games which would be a record. Other highlights Sunday Oscar Mercado with 5 RBI St. Louis ten 5 over the Dodgers and Cedric mullin 5 hits Baltimore 8 three over Toronto. To golf and Brooks Koepka won his 5th major title, he won the PGA Championship by two shots. That was good. Yeah, this one's this one's definitely special. I think this one's probably the most meaningful of them all with everything that's gone on, all the other crazy stuff over the last few years, but it feels good to be back and get number 5. And in auto racing, Spain's Alex pillow captured the pole position for this year's Indy 500. I'm David Shuster, a P sports.

Stephenson's OT goal gives Golden Knights 3-2 win over Stars, lead 2-0 in West final
"Chandler Stephenson scored early in overtime to give the golden knights a three to two win over the stars and a two zero series lead. It doesn't really hit me yet that it happened, but yeah, it's cool and it's just obviously to go to up to nothing. You know, it was important for a group. The knights were able to tie the score in the final minute of regulation on a goal by Jonathan Marshall, Aidan hill made 26 saves in the Vegas nets, Jake Avengers stopped 21 shots for the stars who were now in foreign overtime games this postseason.

Live From Consensus 2023 With Matt Stephenson of Pantera Capital
"Yesterday we were talking about your background in behavioral economics, behavioral strategy, and how a lot of this field of economics is super relevant in the crypto space right now. And I'm fascinated by it. You know, I come from an econ background. I love having these kinds of conversations. So tell me about what you're noticing, not just at consensus, but in this space right now when it comes to game theory and people's behaviors in terms of the market. Yeah, I mean, I think we started crypto economics in the space as drawing on economics, but it's increasingly become behavioral in the sense that we're now paying a lot more attention to sort of non rational, non self regarding human behavior, which is more the domain of behavioral economics, behavioral game theory, so you'll hear vitalik wrote this great essay. The scarcest resources legitimacy, right? Suggesting that maybe at the root of much of what we're doing, there's this kind of interesting socio psychological concept called legitimacy. So that's just naturally handled pretty well if you want to model it formally in behavioral game theory, but there's all these others as well, right? You read about AMMs and people will model noise traders. So noise traders are irrational traders in what ways are the irrational. You can model it with behavioral game theory. Certainly Dow behavior right around social identity NFT behavior is really interesting psychologically. And so I just think we're in a space that's pretty much a behaviorally driven space and we're not fully using the tools for it. But I think we're using the concepts at this point. So I'm sort of like I'm pitching us to get a little more formal.

Knights top Winnipeg 4-1, advance to second round
"The Vegas golden knights beat the Winnipeg jets four to one to close out their first round series in 5 games, Mark stone had a three point night with a goal in two assists in the series clinching victory.

Chandler, Stephenson scored a pair of goals and Laurent bres sa stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Vegas nets after dropping game one of the series the knights then went on to win the next four.

"In the metaverse, I think we're going to see virtual environments that are populated and brought to life. By AI, in some cases, it's going to be sort of what you might think, which is non fair characters that walk around and deliver the mail or whatever. But I think we're also going to see a whole other category. So AI is being put to work to create experiences that have a kind of realistic texture about them and that make the environment seem convincing to the user. I'm glad you brought up AI because it is such an important theme, at least within the zeitgeist currently. And another important theme as it relates to the metaverse is the idea of IP, who owns a particular object. We talked about interoperability before, right? Can you move that between different engines? How do you think AI will interoperate with if that makes sense? How will these AIs generate a bunch of objects, maybe even generate games themselves eventually, and then who owns those things, obviously the AI is trained on many different datasets. So do the people who supplied that data, own the eventual creation from the AI or have you started to think about how that might work? My other cofounder and lamina one, Peter vestments, is actually been thinking a lot about this. He went deep down the rabbit hole of mid journey and all that last month. And very quickly,

"So what are your thoughts on the level of immersion required for this quote unquote metaverse? We absolutely do not need AR and VR in order to build the metaverse. And 30 years ago when I wrote the book, I had a different view of it and so I assumed that it would be all about goggles. A lot has changed since then and we've all learned a lot. Doom came out. The year after snow crash was published. And it's kind of almost hard to remember a time when there weren't games like doom, meaning games where your screen is a flat window into a three dimensional world. And so if you had described doom to me in 1992, said, well, okay, you're looking at a flat panel screen in front of you on a monitor, but you're seeing a 3D world through it. You're running around in that world. I'm not sure if I would have understood it or believed that that could ever really work very well. But now fast forward 30 years, day to day world that we're living in is one in which billions of people routinely access three dimensional spaces through rectangles on two dimensional screens be they the screen of a laptop or a phone that you're holding up in front of your face. And it works really well. And one of the really weird aspects of it is the primitive control scheme. So most people are using like the woz di keys on their keyboard plus a mouse in order to navigate these worlds. Keyboards are a Victorian technology, and yet the human brain is so adaptable that even as clumsy as that is, and as antiquated as that is, was the perfectly useful way of navigating around in 3D spaces. I'm going to talk about VR, AR as a whole different thing. But let me just talk about VR for a sec. You know, really VR, just because of the limitations on processing power and so on has high latency and other kind of quality issues. And I think pretty widely believed even as recently as maybe ten years ago that as latency got reduced as the quality of the experience improved that we'd see a decrease in the tendency of users to get motion sickness. Yeah, I think that there was a decrease, but it didn't go to zero. It went to maybe the last I've heard is like maybe 5, 10%. State of the yard quality VR are going to experience some symptoms. And in fact, I was playing a 2D video game just the other day where my friends and I turned on a new feature and we all had to stop. Because we were getting motion sickness. So imagine if you were trying to popularize television in the 1950s and said, we've got these great programs. We've got I love Lucy. We've got The Ed Sullivan Show, you know, entertainment for the whole family, 5 to 10% of you are going to end up throwing up into a wastebasket. After half an hour of watching this. Well, that's a really high bar to commercial acceptance of entertainment technology. For AR, it's just a different thing. I mean, by its nature, when you're reading an AR experience, it is or it should be somehow tied to the environment you're setting in. Because if it's not, it's just kind of bad VR.

"Neil, welcome to the podcast. It's great to be here and thanks for inviting me. Well, it's really great to have you and I'm excited to talk about the metaverse, probably the topic you're sick of talking about at this point. You certainly have heard of it. You coined it around three decades ago. So we will definitely be diving into that. But before we do, I wanted to get your take on a tweet that I saw recently. I actually saw it last week. And the tweet says, science fiction novelist is the highest impact position in the tech industry and will be, of course, crediting Francois chalet, who said that. But what's your take on that? Any immediate reactions to that? It's an interesting take and I think there might be something to it. I've been talking about this for a while, particularly with the center for science and the imagination. Arizona state university. I was on a panel years ago with Michael crow, who's the president of Arizona state, and he was kind of getting onto this theme. We were talking about the fact that in some cases, not all, but some cases, science fiction novel can serve as a kind of template or a road map to organize the activities of a company or an open-source group. So it's more effective than typical corporate communication strategies. So if you look at a big company where there's a lot of different engineering teams and creative teams trying to coordinate their strategy, there's a huge amount of energy and mind share that gets burned on just trying to keep everybody straight on with the same unifying vision working towards the same plan. And typically that takes the form of PowerPoint decks and endless meetings and discussions. It seems that in some cases it's possible for a science fiction novel to kind of replace all of that. If everyone reads the book, everyone kind of gets it, it actually kind of like a magnetic field that organizes all of the iron filings so they're kind of named in the same direction. Of course, there's some science fiction novels where that's not going to happen because they're set in a very distant future or there's just not applicable. And there's other ones that seem to have that effect in some cases. So as a result of that conversation, we actually set up a project to create a science fiction anthology called hieroglyph that came out and I think 2013, 2014, there was meant to consist of stories that would might have that kind of value or that utility to them.

"And I think having this possibilities and having that ability to, I guess, kind of evolve is exciting and that is what I think why so many people are excited about the better verse. Whatever it might be. Yeah. And I think the thing that we all should remember is that every platform and technology ecosystem that has ever emerged has become great because you have this plurality of people creating on top of it. It's never about one thing and one group's rules about the thing. It has to be open enough where everybody can get involved and help to shape it into this rich interesting direction. And that, I think, is it's important to remember and it's exciting to think about. No, I think that's a great point. I mean, if anything, I think you could almost make the argument that if you don't have that plurality as you say, then it's not going to take off. It's not going to be successful, because as you point out, it's only been those things where we've had everybody kind of working together and kind of doing their own things and building off of one another that you actually have something that really matters and can really change the world. Yeah, totally agreed. And even if the thing doesn't have the plurality of participation and influence and it takes off, it probably isn't going to be as great as it could be if it did. So I'm really excited about what the next handful of years is going to bring. I am too, and I'm also excited to see what future Neil Stephenson books will look like and what insights he will have for us going forward. Yeah, for sure. Like I said there at the end, I hope I'm reading Neil Stephens books until lack of very old man. Same. I mean, old woman, but I'm right there with you because his work is incredible and he continues to do great work. All right, well that is all the time that we have today. Thank you to Neil Stevenson for sharing his time and insights with us. If you have anything that you'd like to share with us, please email us anytime at behind the tech at Microsoft dot com.

"So you can tell I've really want me and everyone who I've given my password to really get the most out of this 14 99 per month. It was actually really funny the other day I got a notification that someone else had logged into my HBO account. And then the next morning I woke up to a text from a friend on the east coast to I hadn't spoken to in several months. And she was like, oh, by the way, I used your HBO log. And I was like, I gave it to you, too. I just give it to everyone. But anyway, anyway, searching for Italy, what was I saying? Oh, yes. So if you're feeling like me right now and you haven't been able to travel as much as maybe you would like to have over the past couple of years for obvious reasons, feeling a little bit of wonder lust and you're just looking for wonderful food porn with the dashing Stanley Tucci leading the way, then I really recommend checking out searching for Italy. I've only watched the episode so far on his visit to Naples. There are a few more. I just downloaded all of them, so I can watch them offline. I can't wait. I can't have a flight coming up. So I can't wait just to binge this on the plane and dream of I don't know. Gelato and pizza and all the good stuff. Stanley Tucci. And Stanley Tucci. Obviously. What's not to like? HBO Max has the best back catalog of movies of any streaming service because they have the MGM and the Warner Brothers back catalogs because of deals with Turner classic movies and all just the weirdness of where HBO is and the media ecosystem. And you go to their classics R and it's just, if it's 11 o'clock, forget about going to bed until three, 'cause you're gonna find something, and it's great. I have a bunch of criterion stuff too. Yeah, that's right. Not as much as the criterion check. They have more. But you know they have some hits for sure. And Mike, what is your recommendation aside from the criterion channel? All right, this week I want to recommend a newsletter. It's from The New York Times. It's called the veggie and it is a food newsletter. So I guess technically it's from New York Times cooking, but it's written every week by the food writer, tejal Rao, the James beard award winning food writer, tajja Rao, who writes about vegetarian food and vegan food. So it's just chock full of great vegetable recipes, vegetarian recipes. Veggie versions of famous things like beef stroganoff and chicken chicken and dumpling soup. So it has over the last few weeks, really filled my head with all kinds of great ideas for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is obviously the great eating holiday in the United States and probably in Canada though I haven't asked a Canadian recently. There are a lot of things that vegetarians, the myth is that vegetarians miss out on a lot of things about Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving is all about the turkey or the ham or the sausage or whatever. But in fact, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays as a lifelong vegetarian because I call it sides giving. And you just eat all the sides. T'Challa has also the philosophy that sides giving is the superior vegetarian Thanksgiving. You don't need a centerpiece. You don't need to like navigate your way through a complicated lentil nut loaf recipe or like go to the store and buy a tofurky or something just to satisfy the centerpiece of the table. All you need is just a ton of bitch and sides. And she's just been delivering. And it's so good. So I definitely, especially if you're into Thanksgiving cooking, I definitely recommend checking out the veggies. You can either get it as a newsletter, you can just read it on the website if you're a New York Times subscriber, you have access to New York Times cooking, you can find it all there. But it raises an interesting question, right? Which is in vegetarianism or veganism, you and I talked about this before. Are you trying to simulate foods that have meat in them traditionally or are you trying to create some other eating experience that can be just a satisfying just delicious? That's not in question. What's the mode of one's vegetarianism or veganism, right? Right. And that's a personal philosophy that everybody who adheres to one of those diets has. Like I eat tofu sometimes, but I don't eat a lot of like fake sausages or fake burgers, right? Just because it's not something that I necessarily miss about eating meat. However, there is sort of like a cultural thing about the big meal, right? Like the turkey in the center of the table that gets carved up and is like the presentation piece, right? Same thing with like Christmas dinner or Hanukkah. There's always like some big thing in the middle of the table that's like the centerpiece. And you know her argument is you don't need that. And you may feel if you're one of those people who feels like recreating a specific kind of experience, you may feel the need for that centerpiece. And that's fine. But I'm telling you, as long as you have the sides, you don't need it. Awesome. Yeah. I'm sold. Let's eat. All right. Well, that is our show. Thank you Adam, as always for joining us. It's my pleasure. I'm always glad to do it. It's nice to see you. And thank you all for listening. If you have feedback, you could find all of us on Twitter, just check the show notes.

"All right, welcome back. Adam, what is your recommendation? All right, I have two, but I promise to go faster than I usually do because I know we're always burning this segment nice. One is if you're in a place where you're qualify if you are an adult and if restrictions on the qualifications where you are, get your COVID vaccine booster. Now's a good time for it. It's great. You get science proofed against a horrible pandemic. You're much less likely to get sick. You're much less likely to transmit the disease to other people. This is great, such a deal. That's why one recommendation. By the recommendation is there's a new Star Trek show on. There's actually a couple. It's one of those one of the most wonderful times of year when there's more than one Star Trek show on at a time. Start to discovery started again. But there's a kids show called Star Trek prodigy. I've watched the first couple of episodes of it. And it's really delightful and it feels like Star Trek and it's just it's a lot of fun. So Star Trek prodigy. What makes it more of a kid show than any of the other star treks? The new crew are younger and they're sort of, they've escaped from a prison planet. They've managed to steal an apparently abandoned starfleet starship and tricked the holographic commander of it who is captain janeway from starting Voyager. The actress doing a voice. So it's kids who are doing it and they're kind of learning lessons, but you know, whatever original series they were all learning lessons too, so I don't mind that too much. And it's just gorgeous 3D animation. Oh, it's animated. Yeah. It's a cartoon. And it's just been a lot of fun so far. So that's my recommendation. Nice. So it sounds like, after someone gets their booster shot, if they're just experiencing temporary mild side effects, they should watch the new Star Trek. If you feel a little achy, you can have some Star Trek for a treat. Why not? Lauren, what's your recommendation? I second the booster. Go get your booster shot folks. If you're eligible for it, and then when you are relaxing on the.

"Guys. I think all or almost all men in your estimation of that I don't know which billionaire I should be talking about specifically in your estimation is that are they up to that task? It seemed to me that the kind of thing kind of personality one has to have to acquire more than a $1 billion may preclude helping people who haven't acquired more than a $1 billion. I wonder if you agree. It turns out there's a lot of billionaires besides the ones there's like deci billionaires, we tend to look at the centa millionaires, the people who only have $12 billion or something like that that we never hear about. And I think a lot of people who do have that kind of money laying around actually do make efforts to apply that money in a beneficial way. They're not all sociopaths. They have the same emotional life as anyone else. And so why wouldn't you want to apply apply that money in a way that you think is going to make things better? In the particular case of termination shock, I had to posit the existence of a decimal millionaire that nobody's really heard of. In Texas, who comes from a background in the oil gas and mining industry and sort of parlayed that into a chain of gas stations. So I'm kind of bending over backwards in other words to make it obvious that my fictional billionaire is not meant to be a thinly veiled depiction of any real billionaire. But he does what he does. He has a story for why he does this that is based on a kind of economic argument. He's got investments in Houston, real estate that's being the value of which is being depressed by rising sea level. And he figures that by implementing this scheme, it will the cost of implementing it will will be more than covered by the rise in value of his real estate portfolio. Dave from Ontario asks this and it's sort of along the lines that we've been talking about. About whether science fiction writers predict the future or whether writing about things in science fiction gives people some guidelines or rails and ways that they can be thinking about whether science fiction open spaces for new way of thinking about the future or whether it is in some sense is limiting because it sets certain guide points. But when we talk to you you said something really interesting to me and it stuck with me that you're not totally sure that fiction is supposed to have that role as social inducer in site social change. And I don't know if it does either, but do you think that science fiction has had the role of guiding what sort of a future in the United States looks for or the world looks for and does it still if it ever did? People can point to a particular scenario, say, oh, let's do that. Trying to get a large number of engineers sort of tech workers to pull together in a unified way and do anything. Can be surprisingly difficult and a lot of energy is spent in spite of corporations with PowerPoint presentation. Solely for the purpose of making sure that all of the engineers are sort of doing the same thing in an efficient way. And I believe that there are some cases where if you see a description of the final end result written out in a compelling way in the book or whatever, you can just sort of hand that book out to people. Oh, okay. I see what we're doing. It kind of decentralizes that the process of getting people to work together. Right. Well, I think that's a good place to start to think about wrapping up. But Neil, thank you. Thank you for doing this. I was sure I appreciated it. It's great to have another book from you. And it was a great pleasure. All right. Thanks, folks. I'm Adam Rogers. You'll see even we've been talking to you. There's more rewired coming. Thanks for being with us. We appreciate it. Adam, that was a great talk. Thank you.

"The imperative to develop new technologies and implement them on heroic scale no longer seems like the childish preoccupation with funerals with slide rules. It's time for the SF writers the science fiction writers to start pulling their weight and supplying big visions that make sense. So is this a big vision? Is this one of those you describe them as hieroglyphs? It could be, I mean, it's the situation that we're in, I think sometimes isn't fully understood, even by people who think of themselves as environmentally aware and staying in touch with what's going on with climate the parts per million of CO2 in the air is now well above 400 that's the highest it's been for millions of years and it's up from 200 and something before the industrial revolution. So it's a big change. And the various efforts that are being made are great, and we absolutely have to do those things. But I'm not sure if everyone totally gets the fact that even if we brought emissions of new carbon dioxide down to zero, which is something that can not happen realistically for several decades into the future, that wouldn't reduce the amount of CO2 that's already in the atmosphere. It takes something like a million years for natural processes to bring that number back down to the pre industrial revolution level. And so we need carbon capture on an enormous scale in order to achieve that. And I hope we have to do that. That's the big solution that we really need to implement. And it truly is a solution in the sense that it would get rid of the underlying problem. And undo the mistake that we made by putting all that CO2 into the atmosphere in the first place. I think that between now and when those carbon capture programs actually begin to make a positive impact, some really bad things are going to happen geopolitically. As a result of all that CO2 in the air, I think we're going to see mass fatality events when the weather gets too hot and humid for to support human life in certain areas. We're going to see we're going to see large rise in sea level that's going to create refugee problems and resulting famine and war and strife. And so. These kinds of solar geoengineering schemes are something that could be considered as a sort of tourniquet. It's like putting a tourniquet on a grievously wounded limb of the emergency room. You don't want to leave the turning it on. But it may be it may be necessary to save a person's life in the meantime. Because when we talked for the story that I wrote about the book, one of the things that you said was that there was a reticence maybe even especially among progressives among the left to have technological solutions. And like science fiction, as a genre, there's some expectation. I don't know, that's totally right. A technological solution will be the denominator or the inciting event in your case in the case of termination shock for the story. But there's this concern that any technological solution here is worse than a stopgap. It's moral hazard. Right. And so I don't know if that's something that you can ask science fiction story to get you out of that maybe just makes the science fiction story interesting. I don't mean to put you on the spot to solve global warming so much as to try to figure out what the role of the fiction writers and even of the journalists if you have any advice is to try to deal with this existential issue. Well, I mean, it begins with a story in the case of journalistic piece. And then what matters is where the story goes and what the characters do. So I guess as I mentioned before, most of termination shock is about how people respond when one person does decide to intervene in the global climate. Because in a weird way, the surprising thing in real life is the people who decide not to intervene. With climate change to people who don't believe it's an issue or waste time dealing with it. And even with the pandemic, the shocking thing about COVID-19 was more the people who, for political or other reasons said it wasn't a problem, it's not a big deal. I mean, that's sort of a surprising moment. I think for even after Trump and everything else, I did not see that coming. The idea that we could have a pandemic that by this point has killed going on twice as many Americans as died in World War II and in a much shorter span of time. And yet there's still a sizable number of people in this country who don't even think it's real. So when the pandemic started, it didn't occur to me that that could ever happen. But the polarization of opinion and the ability of people to live in walled off bubbles has advanced to the point where even there have been many cases reported that people who are literally dying of COVID lying there in the hospital bed being intubated insisting with literally their last words that it's all a hoax. So when I see that and then I look at climate change, climate change, far, far more abstract and difficult scientific concept to understand even for scientifically people than the pandemic that kills people all around you. And the consequences are much farther away and much more abstract than having a friend or a neighbor or a loved one gets sick or die of this disease. And so yeah, I'm you have to be pretty realistic, which means pessimistic about the possibility that large numbers of people are going to believe in human created climate change to the point where they would all get together and support expensive and difficult and complicated measures to reduce emissions to set up carbon capture facilities on a massive scale or what have you. There's a question from one of the folks watching that's relevant here. So I want to go to that some of the time we have remaining. This is Andre from Russia says yesterday the one time Apple designer industrial designer Johnny was on rewired and was talking about Steve Jobs in that case being a leader for change. And that's one thing when it comes to running a company, especially in technology, but Andreas, what you think the role is of individual leadership here. If there are specific individuals who you think are particularly important versus that collective action that you were just talking about. Well, we've gotten into a really weird place in how things work in our society where billionaires are the answer to everything. 50 years ago, if something big needed to happen, we would look to the government, or we would look to private industry to take care of it for us somehow. And now the expectation that a lot of people just seem to have is that if there's a big thing that needs to be done, then 8 billionaire needs to step in and handle it for us. And that is kind of a new thing in the world. And it seems to be where we are. And that's why I chose that particular trope as the basis for termination shock. But through your work and through the kind of things that you that you've done even when you're not writing, you've met some of these guys. I think all or almost all men in your estimation of that I don't know which billionaire I should be.

"Hi, welcome to another session on rewired. I'm Adam Rogers, a senior correspondent at the publication, the magazine and the website, and I am delighted to welcome one of my favorite science fiction writers. Neil Stevenson, thank you for being with us. We really appreciate it. Hi, I'm good to be here. So Neil has a new book coming out next week called termination shock. It's always Tuesday for some reason. It's an ancient ritual. So that's mostly what we're going to talk about, but I want to start with a question that I warned you I was going to ask you out to begin with and that everyone has been asking you about for the last couple of weeks, at least. So I have this is my 1992 copy of snow crash. That's a beauty. This is the classical one that I picked up. That summer when I would go to the bookstore to hide from the job that I had at lunch hour. And there's this paragraph on page 22 after you've spent a couple pages describing the experience of what we would today probably call virtual reality of wearing a set of goggles that are images are being beamed in onto the screens of the goggles and stereo sound being beamed into the headphones. The main character's name is hero. Hero is not actually here at all. He's in a computer generated universe that his computer is drawing onto his goggles and pumping into his earphones in the lingo, this imaginary place is known as the metaverse. This is your coinage. Sorry to read this back to you. I know you know the book better than most would. But now the metaverse has been adopted not perhaps as the caution maybe that you meant, but as the next big business opportunity in social media at least. And I know that you're not involved in the business side of that, but I do want to know what you feel like about whether these folks, I don't know, read the book before they called something the metaverse. How does that feel for you? To have that coinage. Well, the overall tone of the book as many people have pointed out is kind of broadly dystopian, although it's meant to be dystopian with a sense of humor. It's both, it's both dystopian and kind of satirizing the dystopian tropes of the genre at the same time. And so when people are arguing about the metaverse in the last few weeks and months, there's a tendency for the more skeptical people to point to that dystopian quality of the book as saying something or meaning something about the metaverse as being currently worked on by active tech companies. So I get it. I think that in the book, the metaverse per se is neither dystopian or utopian. I mean, it's a thing that exists in that world and people use it frequently as a way to sort of step out of the possibly gloomy dystopian lives that they might be living. That's certainly what hero is described as doing in the passage that you're reading. He's in real life living in a storage container by the airport. But in the metaverse, he gets to have a more full and beautiful experience. So I think that averse as described in the book is kind of neutral. It's neither dystopian nor utopian. That caters is what people do with the idea. I want to, we're going to talk about that the neutrality or dystopian utopian idea. I think more because I think it's important to termination shock to but I also, you know, you can tell it's science fiction and so crash because they've actually somebody has actually built housing near the airport for hero to live in which of course doesn't happen in real life. Nobody has that now. He can afford a place to live. So clearly, your predictive abilities are waning. But that's right. Your termination shock is broadly about climate change about global warming and about a billionaire decides to attempt soldier geoengineering. This really aggressive program shooting sulfur into the atmosphere to try to cool off a planet that is in termination shock is well past the point where places are not livable for humans. Just thinking about, as you mentioned, dystopia is in utopias. Is it your intent to pitch that in a way as what ought to happen or should happen or are you are you aspiring there to some neutrality as well? What's your hope that people will take away from this vision of climate change is happening and now somebody's got to do something about it? The overall tone of the book, if you read the book all the way through is reasonably balanced. So at the beginning of the book, the program you're describing is already sort of a fade accompli, not everyone knows about it. But it's about to start running. And so most of the book is really on the topic of how people around the world from different countries and different walks of life respond to what this guy is doing. And so in the course of that, they talk about the pros and cons of this kind of geoengineering in what I hope is a reasonably well informed way. Intelligent people who have access to good information. And so they're able to anticipate the possible problems that are going to result from that kind of intervention and to make their own decisions as to how they should respond to it. So I hope I've depicted all of that in a reasonably balanced and realistic way. The particular scenario in which an individual, a billionaire decides to do this, I think, probably is not super realistic for various reasons. But it made for a good story. I think that if this kind of intervention does happen, it's likely to be a government somewhere that just decides it's in its own national interest to go ahead and pull the trigger on this. But I wasn't trying to put you on the spot for saying that it should be neutral. Part of the thing that you've done just by talking about it is saying, yes, climate change is real. Yes, it's an issue. It's a problem. And where we sit right now with cop 26 going on, the large international program of trying to address climate change while there are still people don't think it's really a problem or who don't think that it's feasible to do anything about it or willing to sacrifice some number of some amount of coastline and some number of people to it. This book takes that as a given. This is an issue. It's serious. But and geoengineering a controversial solution or approach to it. But I am, when you say it's neutral, I'm just struck by like ten years ago, you wrote an article why ran it too? You're one of the few people who's both written for wired and had wired right about where you were you said that in the golden age of science fiction nominally, the sort of 30s, 40s, 50s, science fiction writers wrote these big idea books with big technological solutions and that now that those are what's needed, the imperative to develop new technologies and implement them on heroic scale no longer seems like the childish preoccupation with funerals with slide rules..

"That was a big ask, you know, for somebody as important as he is in that community and to the world that he was sort of saying, science fiction hasn't been doing its job. We have to think bigger. The engineers and technologists, the billionaires, the entrepreneurs aren't thinking big enough, we have to do that big thinking for them so that they'll be as inspired by us as we were by Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov, or whatever. Those guys are all problematic for other reasons too, but you see what I mean. But then when I've tried and others have asked him about this too, as he's done publishing for the book, to say, is this what you meant? Is this the kind of big thing technology that you're hoping will inspire people? He will still say that he was trying very explicitly to get at how complicated the issue was and not take a position, but just say, he'll probably someone's probably gonna do it what would that mean and how do we deal with it then? I don't know, maybe I should ask the question better. Well, you know, you did a great job of asking questions, particularly somebody like Neil, who we've all been reading his books since we were teenagers. And as you said, his philosophy is sort of permeated our daily lives, whether or not we realize it. It must be kind of cool to interview somebody who's like fully wormed their way inside of your brain. Oh, well that's a whole other thing. Yes. Not only have I read all asking me whether I like the book or whether I think the book is good. And the only thing I can answer is I can't answer that because there's no oh am I gonna do not read it like I've read every one of his books since 1992, like I still remember the moment that the book I showed him in this interview that I held up to the camera was the copy that I bought because I was cutting my summer job to go to the bookstore and pick the thing up. It was like, what's this? And you read the first, you know, the first 30, 40 pages of snow crash or some of the best. It's like one of the best leads in the history of science fiction. I was like, what the hell is this? You know, and I have read ever since that. It's like when people ask me whether I think the new season of Doctor Who was any good or something. Well, there's no answer. I'm not going to not watch it, so it doesn't really matter. I don't know if it's going to be for you, but it's for me. And in fact, Neil was one of the first science fiction writers I ever interviewed. When I was just starting out as a journalist and was talking to science fiction writers about the culture of nerdiness that was getting built in the 90s. He was one of the first people I was so.

We are going to play for you a conversation that Adam had with the acclaimed sci-fi novelist Neil Stevenson. This conversation took place at our rewired conference last week. You probably know Neil Stephenson from his books like snow crash, crypto Naomi con or the three novel baroque cycle. My personal favorite is the long essay in the beginning was the command line. His newest book termination shock comes out this week, and it's about a near future where the world is nearly ruined by the effects of climate change. So Adam, you talked with Neil Stevenson recently for a featured length profile you wrote for the magazine, which people.

Show i i you ever going and we wrote him for four hours right off the bat showing me the ropes of what we need to how to work these businesses. How to work these boots how to do all of this. So how many black instructors that he feel. That's on the top elite level. He go to that one with a sniper class or whatever so people can just talk shit to try to make it to make it out to seem really bad but at the end of the day like he. Maybe he wasn't brought up like that. You can't take every single brand new and be like well. this is our is. Does he talk like some hood as mother fucking no. He's a lawyer. So let's let's get the levels of things. The reason i operate like operate. I grew up in the hood. I didn't grow up in the suburbs. I grew up the project. Name many nicknames. I grew up in the mother fucking hood where like cat southside. Selling dope gunfire was normal light. So i know. I'm trying to get this information out to young black boys to understand like when i make these videos with girls torture shaking as we at the strip club act in the mother fucking foam turning up to show them that. You don't have to be a drug deal to do this to do this. Like a normal human being and make shit happen draft eighty thousand dollars trucks and you can do this kali. The war might not have been brought up like that. So i'm not gonna come on here and talk down on land and be like. Oh he's a fucking sell out. No fucking you. Why do we need to be put into a box. I mean you know everybody is different. You are not a monolith right. We have the the hajj twins. Now they say some fucked and funding. That doesn't make them any less who they are. They are unique. I mean it's just like me. My hair fucking defies gravity. I don't wear my hair like a lot of people that same problem failure know and i mean so that's my perspective on it and that's also something in the yoga industry they say. Oh how can you be a yoga instructor. How can you be a yoga guru and you shoot guns is completely opposite to what yoga represents and you know that everyone has their opinion know. There's a lot of tests that have been done that when you are shooting a gun when you're doing something that drives up your adrenaline release endorphins. Whatever things in activities that you participate in that that affects you. You know emotionally energetic and why not use that. As a way as type of yoga everybody has their things. Some people like hot yoga. Some people like naked yoga. Some people like yoga with with weed. And you know all kinds of crazy things. I i bring it up because i think that there's so many great spokespeople coming forward now and part of the reason i brought the nra and nss and s f up. Is i think they do a better job. Getting more faces out in the forefront. And i think that's important because people want to identify with what they love black all the time so we. There's there's multiple things. There's nagara national. Fuck i forgot the abbreviation rattle a few of. So you got out there. You have Black guns association. You have multiple different black communities.

We never said that. If you're black half the do certain things. There's not a requirement of what type of person that you have to be. So just by being who who he is called on wi like he. He is representing an excellent motherfucking answer. And this is why. That's an excellent answer. Does what what what is it to to represent the black community is. it's a stand industry and go black. Lives matter is it to do this. How how you differentiate seeing that. He's he's not. Does he focused on more stuff with the black community when he did his shows and all that that have black individuals on their no man stress. We we we talk about that like did he represents for you to determine who he wants to talk to who wants to resonate with. He gets his own fucking choices and that. That's what i'm getting too. Because he is a human choice was eight. Maybe maybe inadvertently. Maybe not i mean you hear the term best. I just want to ask you a question. You hear the term. You dance with the girl you took to the prom. Explain so there's going to be people right. They're gonna be there for you white or black support you build you up those the people you remember on the back end and what i'm saying is now that all these people coming up and they're putting their flag in the sand.

Takeaways from the Senate hearing on Washington, DC riot
"Faulty intelligence and band communication lead to the breakdown of security during the capital riots. A hearing about the rights underway on Capitol Hill is good policed on that. Joining us live now, NBC radio National correspondent Mike Power Morning, Mike Yeah. Good morning, Joe. You're looking at former U. S. Capitol security officials telling Congress and enjoy hearing yesterday that they did not have sufficient information ahead of the January 6 attacks in the Capitol to accurately predict The scale of the attack. You had testimony from former U. S. Capitol police chief Steven Son, House sergeant at arms Paul Irving and Senate sergeant at arms, Michael Finger and all of whom resigned their posts after the Capitol siege following request from top leaders of both parties. But you also heard from U. S. Capitol Police captain Kardashian Mendoza, who's been with the department 19 years and said that that day January 6 was by far the worst of the worst. In terms of events that she has worked over the past two decades. And clearly what the messaging was here was that while they felt Capitol police and others felt they were prepared for an event, it doesn't sound like they had any idea of what this event was going to turn into. Capitol police chief Stephenson said. These criminals came prepared for war. They came with their own radio system to coordinate the attack. They came in climbing here and other equipment to defeat the Capitol Security features. At all three former capital security officers agreed that the January 6th attack was planned and coordinated. It involved white supremacists and extremist groups. And they did not get enough information from the FBI about it if they got any at all. In fact, some of them son it was there was indicating that he hadn't heard anything about FBI intelligence indicating that this could evolve into something bigger. Harsher greater than what the expectation was, until literally yesterday. That's when he heard about about to be fair. He did resign after the jet the January 6th attacks. But he said during the time there, there was no preparation that based on the intelligence, they believe that they met the threat that was they were prepared for, and now they know they had the wrong plan. There wasn't enough of the information coming from the FBI, even though the FBI sent a report the evening of the attempted evening before the attack detailing various calls for violence next day, but those never got to the proper people, according to reports yesterday. This is kind of strange, because even before this rally occurred, there was word that the National Guard was rated standing by in the National Guard was offered. So I mean, you know, uh, somebody was prepared. It seems like there was a head's up on some level or or maybe that's the worst case scenario thought like, Let's just make sure we've got that kind of back up, ready to go. But even then there were concerns over apparently optics as to whether or not the optics of having a national guard. There was something that was a concern whether or not there was a call made early in the day requesting Help from the National Guard has had sons. You said he made a call at 109 P. M. But you according to Irving, he said he didn't receive such a call. So now you've got senators going, okay? Let's get phone records to verify that somebody made that call at 109 asking for National Guard help and what happened or what their confusion was on some level immediately afterwards because that could be a big indication As to why the guard didn't get out there quick enough clearly for the situation, so there is still more investigation that needs to be done. I believe that there's going to be another one of these coming up next week that will be greater detail That's determined what happened with the National Guard on some level, but at least at this point in time, the indication was Capitol Police didn't have all of the information at their disposal to determine Whether or not this was going to be his violent as it actually turned out, already
