Joscha Bach is a cognitive scientist and artificial intelligence researcher. Joscha has an exceptional ability to articulate how the human mind works.

He comes on the show to talk about the deeper metaphors within the Bible. Specifically, how the story of Abraham sacrificing his son Isaac, and God sacrificing Jesus, have an even more profound connection than many may realize. The discussion continues about how human cognition works and the value of emotions to guide a person towards taking important actions.

We also talk about what a potential endgame of A.I. looks like. Joscha lays out a case for how AI could create a future that helps humans lead fuller more satisfying lives where they can observe deeper truths about the world and move through challenges with ease.

At times, this was a brain breaking conversation that felt like a dense onion, one that needs its layers peeled back over and over again.

    Josha literally changed my life
  • Joscha Bach is such an eloquent speaker; a voice of reason and clarity. I can't get enough of his explanations as he has the ability to break things down in ways that make sense. Even if I don't always fully understand them, intuitively I feel that he's onto something. I wish he could serve as an advisor to many institutions! What sets Joscha Bach apart from other intellectuals is his vast understanding of various subjects and particularly his unique ability to connect them, almost like an art form, it's very special.
  • @kpaulwell
    He can't have said 'um' more than a handful of times in almost 2 hours of rapid-fire high conceptual density talking. Joscha spent so much time thinking about LLMs he metamorphosed into one
  • Lots of startling insights here. What a unique and original mind. I feel like Ive been pushed to one side of myself.
  • @ginogarcia8730
    Joscha makes Sunday school more interesting than when I was there
  • Only 17 minutes into listening, and its disarming how profound and eye-opening these ideas are. Thanks Joscha and Vance for sharing this!
  • @evanboris7673
    This is so great. I'm left with only wanting more. Vance you elicit such great approachable answers from Joscha -- you sort of level him more toward the "common" conception of discourse (not as meta), which is a great option to have as an audience member (though his other interviews are obviously fantastic as well). Vance, your intelligence comes across quite purely (is quite evident) in your parts even as you say (repeatedly) your mind is 'blown". Kudos!
  • @mr.knownothing33
    He really needs to publish a book. He has a very eloquent in yet simple way of explaining concepts
  • @proddreamatnight
    This guy's brain man. Wish I could think at half the value Joscha does
  • @lilfr4nkie
    Dr. Joscha Bach! Truly, always a pleasure!!
  • @Jeremy-Ai
    I love Joscha Bach I adore this man for reasons I am unable to properly pronounce. So “love” is a broken word and understatement. Thank you for this interview:) Take care Jeremy
  • This was my favorite Joscha interview! I love the range of conversation, the r metaphysics weaving into the creative processes and your style of interview is endearing and brings a great spirit to some cutting edge insights unfolding. Thank you for this major gift.
  • @Casevil669
    The insights he casually spits out are incredible. 'You're melting my brain' is the most appropriate reaction.
  • @etfacetimehome
    19:09 I LOVE THIS... reminds me of cognitive behavioral therapy.. our brains- like LLMs - hallucinate sometimes and we need to observe the output/thoughts
  • @JDDonohue
    Thank you for asking questions about things other than AI. I love hearing Joscha talk about AI as well but obviously most interviews with him are on this topic and hearing him talk about nature, spirituality, art, music and film is incredible too.
  • @jeffswigert
    I love this man's way of expressing ideas and conceptualizing problems.
  • @Meta4Monky
    Fun talk. Thanks. I appreciate finally hearing someone talk about the ancient minds as being rational but with limited info.

    For me, cannabis turns loneliness into solitude. I don’t feel especially sad or frustrated by playing video games and watching entertainment and eduction on YouTube. It also does allow me to focus and think deeply about things, maybe, it’s hard to know that what you’re doing on THC, wouldn’t be happening without it. It can also help me to feel more synonymous with the media I’m consuming, I feel more immersed in the game, more sucked into the movie, but it also push me out and back into my own head with fractaling thoughts spinning off something that I just observed
