Months ago, Dustin Kittle reached out to me to tell me how our farmers are losing their farmland and the government is allowing it to happen. Dustin was one of the inspirations for starting my show in the first place because I thought to myself, "if people only knew." Last week I drove down to Tennessee to film this episode of him telling his story. I know I am a very small fish, but I hope this reaches the right people to make a difference to save our family farms. Dustin is not just a farmer, he is also a very successful lawyer. If he can't stop this, our small farms have no chance. We need President Trump and congress to step in immediately. --- 01:18 Dustin’s Background 03:30 Buying a Farm 07:35 What is Farm Credit? 09:27 Farm Credit Administration 12:34 Getting a Loan 22:37 Farm Credit Goes After His Mom 41:09 Extortion 47:22 File Complaint with FCA 58:51 What the FCA Did 01:05:47 Why is this Happening? 01:10:38 Foreclosure 01:19:21 After the Loan was Paid 01:25:08 FCA Releases Findings 01:31:21 Dustin Kittle Sues the President 02:02:25 What can we do? 02:06:56 Why Dustin was Targeted 02:21:05 Keeping People Quiet 02:22:51 What can Farmers Do? 02:25:38 Farm Credit Sues Dustin 02:29:35 Threats Against Dustin 02:34:20 Suing Biden and Not Trump 02:36:32 Foreign Governments Buying Farmland 02:37:46 What Farm Credit Does with the Land 02:43:14 What can we do - continued Quick Hitters 02:51:52 Thoughts on Brooke Rollins 02:56:35 Subsidies 03:01:54 Bird Flu 03:08:34 Country of Origin Labeling 03:10:32 Pesticide Immunity

Played a quick game with Daniel Negreanu (Daniel Negreanu) before the podcast. Wild how fast someone at his level can read you. We spoke about how people behave when the stakes rise, what pressure does to decision-making, how influence works at a table, and physical cues. Also got into failure, long losing stretches, early life, Vegas, reading people, chess vs poker and poker math. Very few people think this cleanly about competition and human behaviour.

Could AI deserve rights before it even feels like anything to be an AI? Oxford moral philosopher Andreas Mogensen thinks... maybe. In her first interview for the 80,000 Hours Podcast my colleague Zershaaneh Qureshi pushes Andreas on that, as well as new arguments for why human extinction could be a good thing: The puzzle of moral patienthood (00:03:20) Is subjective experience necessary? (00:05:52) What is it to desire? (00:10:42) Desiring without experiencing (00:17:56) What would make AIs moral patients? (00:28:17) Another route entirely: deserving autonomy (00:45:12) Maybe there's no objective truth about any of this (01:12:06) Practical implications (01:29:21) Why not just let superintelligence figure this out for us? (01:38:07) How could human extinction be a good thing? (01:47:30) Lexical threshold negative utilitarianism (02:12:30) So... should we still try to prevent extinction? (02:25:22) What are the most important questions for people to address here? (02:32:16) Is God GDPR compliant? (02:35:32) Links below, enjoy!
