Thank you very much for sharing this in a written format. I'm looking forward to working through your thoughts, I had a hard time making my way through this in spoken format. See you around!
The metaphors are so strong but don't overwhelm the points they're illustrating - great! The basic principles come through a lot clearer to me in print, part of why I only listened to the first episode previously
The other reason was I fundamentally disagree with the categorical rejection of 'old maps'. I've gotten a good start on Edmund Burke's collected works and the most beautifully worded argument he makes is in paeans to the stored value of wisdom in traditions that overwhelms the single individual's or even a single generation's rational ability to create the same quality of map. The most essential map we deal with is human nature and it will not truly change until widespread gene editing
I suspect that you do not actually disagree with this as in a polar opposite but rather believe something like that a collective rational effort can successfully find the best parts of the old maps, however I will have to read ahead to find out
