Why I'm Staying Out Of The Substack Religion Debate - By Scott Alexander 19.08.2026 23minScott Alexander explains why the revived online religion debate leaves him cold: not because he’s exhausted every argument for and against God, but because theism strikes him as the kind of “powerful hidden entity” explanation we normally penalise for overfitting. From alien-assisted Napoleon to divine simplicity and dualism, he tries to unpack the intuition behind his atheism, and why he’d rather not return to the theology mines.* 00:00 - Introduction* 00:07 - One* 10:04 - Two* 15:30 - Threehttps://open.substack.com/pub/astralcodexten/p/why-im-staying-out-of-the-substack?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Get full access to Askwho Casts AI at askwhocastsai.substack.com/subscribe -

Your Book Review: The Escape Artist - ACX Book Review 15.08.2026 53minA remarkable review of The Escape Artist, the true story of Rudolf Vrba’s escape from Auschwitz, and his far harder struggle to convince the world what was happening there. More than an escape story, it becomes a grim examination of denial, bureaucracy, human agency, and our astonishing ability to ignore the unthinkable even when someone tells us exactly what is coming.This has been an Askwho Casts audio conversion.
