"Human culture needs boundaries or borders. Intellectual or moral free for all is not healthy for society and not sustainable for society". Something tells me that I don't want to exist under a culture beholden to Robert Frodeman's morality code.

"We need to fix this cultural project where we've assumed that it's alright to think any thought." Wow. This interview has the unique distinction of being the first where I've entered into it largely agreeing with the guest's premise (tech/science could benefit from some imposed limits), but leave it with the exact opposite opinion. If my choices are between some hellish techno-dystopia, or having my thoughts/actions/sexuality moderated by Dr. Frodeman and those who would agree with him, I think I'll take the dystopia.

Amazing interview, Nick. Partially through it now and can't wait to see the rest. The perfect encapsulation of the ego portion that Dr Frodeman brings to the surface is something that has always enamored me. It leaves me thinking "can ones ego be inflated this far?" To his former point about the protypical fourteen year olds, that is the only state in which I can see myself moving as these technocrats move. My ego would have blinded me to the point I could make the same highly likely self-erasing decisions because "muH upSiDeS". Very interesting, thanks for doing this one.

Lorraine, I don’t vote for Democrats and Republicans. I’m equal opportunity that way, because I’ve been looking at the darkest side of politics for 22 years. However, I will say that my guest wasn’t fond of Trump.
