They focused largely on new technologies and existential risks, but also discuss topics like:\n\n• Why Rob is wary of fiction\n• Egalitarianism in the evolution of hunter gatherers\n• How to stop social media screwing up politics\n• Careers in government versus business\n\nThe second interview is with Prof Andrew Leigh - the Shadow Assistant Treasurer in Australia. This one gets into more personal topics than we usually cover on the show, like: \n\n• What advice would Rob give to his teenage self?\n• Which person has most shaped Rob’s view of living an ethical life?\n• Rob’s approach to giving to the homeless\n• What does Rob do to maximise his own happiness?\n\nGet this episode by subscribing to our podcast on the world’s most pressing problems and how to solve them: type 80,000 Hours into your podcasting app.\n\nThe 80,000 Hours Podcast is produced by Keiran Harris.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/VO1STE7hN95RRg9QdLo4soV2VhhbR9PF5ZZlRhDYcwE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNDAyLzE2ODM1/NDQ1NDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
