About this listen
Is the panic over AI justified, or is it just the latest verse in a song we've been singing for centuries?
In this episode, Pessimists Archive founder Louis Anslow argues that the current hysteria isn't about safety - it's about power.
We explore Louis's "Seven Deadly Cynics" framework - identifying the specific groups (from politicians to protectionists) that have historically tried to ban everything from coffee and bicycles to the Walkman. We dive into why the ruling class always fears progress, why the "War of the Worlds" panic was a media hoax, and why understanding this history is the ultimate weapon for Rational Optimists today.
