One of the better BHTV episodes, IMO. Robert Wright was a bit heavy on rhetoric for me: Have you sobered up? Why don’t you accuse me of blah. Oh, if you are going to fling acusations around, that isn’t very scientific—etc. Also the enthusiasm for extracting some kind of concession from Eliezer about updating his position at the end.
Wright gets a bit excited towards the end. It has some entertainment value—but tends to interfere with the discussion a little. It would have helped if he could have read some EY.

Interesting topics, though.
