It’s hard to tell if this moment means everything is awesome, or a calm before the storm. This week I watched a discussion between Garry Kasparov and Peter Thiel which makes the case for the latter. Filmed in 2013, it follows them as they spend a day in NYC. They play a bit of chess, sight-see at the Empire State Building, swing by the Columbia robotics lab, and mostly chat about how America has made very little progress in the last fifty years compared to the fifty before that.
