Whoa, Vol. 3: Humanmaxxing

Sublime

How to thrive in the age of machines Most of what we hear about AI is a story of loss: slop everywhere, our thinking outsourced to machines, our livelihoods destroyed. But there’s another version of this story. Some of the most interesting people we know aren’t taking the bait on the “human vs. AI” debate. They’re doing their thing and leaning harder into themselves. We think they’re a window into a future where advances in machines will usher in an era of re-enchantment where we will become freer, stranger, more creative, more idiosyncratic, more alive.

    Welcome to Humanmaxxing, an interview series on thriving in the age of machines. You can follow along on ⁠Substack⁠, ⁠YouTube⁠, and ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠. Cate Hall is a former Supreme Court attorney and once the world’s top-ranked female poker player who went from the throes of addiction to leading a multibillion-dollar foundation. Her life is proof that even the most trapped among us can discover a path to fulfillment. There must be something like the opposite of suicide, whereby a person radically and abruptly decides to start living, or rescue their own life from destruction/obscurity. If there’s one book I’d bet on to catalyze that reaction, it’s Cate Hall’s You Can Just Do Things. In this conversation, Alex and Cate talk about what it means to live agentically, touching on God, AI surrender, meaning, and her #1 piece of advice for becoming more agentic.Chat with the Granola Notes for this conversation ⁠here⁠.
