Based on the fact Twitch is counter-intuitive about recording (it’s caught me out before too) and the technical issues at the start, I made a backup recording just in case – only audio but hope it helps!:
I re-listened to Anna and Geoff’s conversation, which is the main part of the audio that I found interesting. Timestamps for that conversation:
1:57:57 - Early EA history, the EA Summit, and early EA/Leverage interactions 2:13:34 - Narrative addiction and leaders being unable to talk to each other 2:17:20 - Early Geoff cooperativeness 2:19:58 - Possible causes for EA becoming more narrative-addicted 2:22:35 - Conflict causing group insularity 2:24:50 - Anna on narrative businesses, narrative pyramid schemes, and disagreements 2:28:28 - Geoff on narratives, morale and the epistemic sweet spot 2:30:08 - Anna on trying to block out things that would weaken the narrative, and external criticism of Leverage 2:36:30 - More on early Geoff cooperativeness 2:41:44 - ‘Stealing donors’, Leverage’s weird vibe (non-materialism?), Anna/Geoff’s early interactions, ‘writing off’ on philosophical grounds, and keeping weird things at arm’s length 2:50:00 - The value of looking at historical details, and narrative addiction collapse 2:52:30 - Geoff wants out of the rationality community; PR and associations; and disruptive narratives

Thank you so much! This is great!
!!! BRILLIANT. I thought the conversation was quite important, and your foresight has saved it for the community’s memory. Thank you so much. :)
This should be signal-boosted for all the people who missed the stream.
Update: I’ve disabled public access by request. Geoff said (here) he’s going to post the recording to his website.
