In this conversation, we talk about humor, sarcasm, artificial intelligence, the human condition — and what a good life is, after all. Highlights: What it means to be an informed optimist The difference between humor and sarcasm — and what that reveals about our time The intellectual caste that disdains social media The story of the grandfather imprisoned by the PIDE and the neighborhood that protected him How AI is extinguishing the inner light Shitty chairs — and why they are the only ones that teach you how to live The prejudices that live inside us without us knowing What a good life is — and why you only know when it ends "Sarcasm is when malice has already surpassed humor — and the person still thinks they're being funny."
