"Neil Postman, he wrote this brilliant book in like 1984 called Amusing Ourselves to Death... his big take was when the news got music, he knew our civilization was over because as soon as the news got music, it was entertainment... George Orwell wasn't right. Aldous Huxley was right."

"He wrote this book called What's Our Problem? It's like one of my favorite books of the last 10 years. And so the book is, it's not about left and right, it's about how you think about things. So Tim Urban's theory is, you can either think like a scientist where you go, new evidence would change my opinion..."

"You know this Iain McGilchrist guy... He wrote The Master and His Emissary. So he wrote this book about how the right brain and the left brain don't do different things. They do the same thing differently. He's an incredible writer... They're both phenomenal."

"And he wrote another book called The Matter with Things. They're both phenomenal. Okay, slightly beyond me, but kind of phenomenal."
