An excellent debate between SIAI donor Peter Thiel and George Gilder on:
“The Prospects for Technology and Economic Growth”
I suggest skipping the first 8 minutes since they are mostly intro fluff. Thiel makes a convincing case that we are living in a time of technological slowdown. His argument has been discussed on LessWrong before.
I found Gilder so annoying (information does not trump the laws of physics!!) that I listened to this instead—Thiel and Niall Fergusson at Harvard.
Does Gilder say anything intelligent? If he doesn’t, does he get squashed flat?
