This book by Brian Magee came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Naval Ravikant. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“there's a recent book that I found called Philosophy in the Real World which is like a little 100-page introduction to Karl Popper by Brian Magee, and I found that to be a good lighter weight introduction.”— Naval Ravikant
The guest here is David Deutsch and Naval Ravikant: David Deutsch is a visiting physics professor at Oxford's Center for Quantum Computation, a pioneer of quantum computing, and author of The Fabric of Reality and The Beginning of Infinity. Naval Ravikant, co-host here, is co-founder of AngelList and AirChat and an early investor in Twitter, Uber, and Notion. David Deutsch and Naval Ravikant unpack epistemology, the four strands of reality, AGI, optimism, and why humans are central to the universe.
