Did a quick search on the episode transcript and couldn't find it.

I'll probably re-listen it though! That said, would you be able to confirm this is the episode by quickly taking a look at the conversation transcript? I'd love to dig deeper if that's not the episode!

I tried searching too, but couldn't find it. I can't remember his wording exactly. I do have that episode downloaded to my mp3-player though, so it seems likely. If I haven't hallucinated it all.

What to optimize for in life?

I've heard that interview but I'm having some issues finding it back. Would you mind sharing a link to the Patrick Collison interview?

I didn't put a link in because I wasn't sure. My best guess is this one.

What are fun little puzzles / games / exercises to learn interesting concepts?

Nice resource! It reminds me about the Chapter 3 of Adventures in Cognitive Biases.

Is there anything similar to The Credence Calibration Game but works online and has some recent facts?

It would be cool to be able to replay some closed Metaculus questions and see how well would you do against that!

The Clearer Thinking Calibrate Your Judgement tool seems worth checking out. https://www.clearerthinking.org/post/2019/10/16/practice-making-accurate-predictions-with-our-new-tool

What is the low hanging fruit of things we could be doing to improve society?

Thanks for sharing Dagon, you made me realize a couple of things! I never thought about EMH applying in this situation and that some adequate equilibriums might not be reachable without a very large change.

I still think some of the examples shared by others might be still partially useful to think about when deciding who to vote or discussing issues with other people.
