076_ Conversation: 🙊 Frank Lloyd Wright was a real son-of-a-bitch | Art and the artist, a legacy 📐

Can the work outlive the man enough to forgive him? Frank Lloyd Wright designed the homes that quietly shaped how millions of Americans live — and he was, by nearly every account, a genuinely difficult person to love. David (<a href="https://black-sheep-makery.squarespace.com/">Black Sheep Makery</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/7ASmupjr4XfhrBycsgzR0o?si=KRdoknFhQW2zWzabSmLp-Q">Big Dudu</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/18LriCG2gw7KKZDH1Hr1Dd?si=yCmLtx0oTGyYA8-jXC0okg">Dudetunes</a>) joins me to trace Wright's life from a childhood box of wooden blocks to Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and a tragedy at his own home that killed seven people. We use his story to ask a bigger question: when the art is this good, does the artist's life even matter — and where do we draw that line today? <a href="https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/drawings-and-plans-of-frank-lloyd-wright-the-early-period-1893---1909-1893-1909_frank-lloyd-wright/768213/?resultid=7965e3b4-6c32-4cc3-8bd6-ded93a61f76c#edition=5324390&idiq=28516009">Drawings from Frank Lloyd Wright, the early period </a>mentioned throughout the episode.

075_ Interview: 🏡 The beauty of designing a house in a spreadsheet | Passive house design and the future of how we build 🔨

<a href="https://passivehouseaccelerator.com/users/andrew-michler">Andrew Michler </a> is a Santa Fe-based architect and author of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1938740084?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback">Hyperlocalization of Architecture</a>, and one of the leading practitioners of passive house design in the United States, including the first certified passive house in Colorado, which he built himself. Also checkout <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMT3wb4h234"> a great YouTube video </a> ( and excellent channel ) walking through Andrew's Colorado Passive home. Passive house isn't a style. It's a methodology rooted in physics: rather than prescribing materials or following minimum code, it models the entire building. The insulation, airtightness, window placement, how the sun effects the warmth, even body heat from occupants, and targets aggressive performance outcomes. The result is a home that stays comfortable with a fraction of the energy a conventional house requires. In here we cover the basics of passive house from the ground up, including what separates it from traditional high efficiency build certification and passive solar design, why the "boxy German building" reputation is mostly coincidence, and how a house in Colorado stayed in the mid-60s for a week at -9°F with the heating system off. We also dig into surprising economics of passive house construction (spoiler: it's closer to conventional than you'd think), and whether you can retrofit an existing home ~ a process Andrew is actively doing on a house in Oakland.

074_ Conversation: 💭 The consciousness problem | AI, awareness, and an ancient unsettled debate 🌀

We can't prove you're conscious either — and that's kind of the point. Istanbul-based researcher Mesut Bilgili joins to reframe the AI consciousness debate around what we can actually measure. Plus: what your dog, a forest, and ChatGPT have in common, and why curiosity might be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. Check out Mesut's <a href="https://internalstate.io/research/processing-from-a-position"> paper on Functional Awareness</a>, and follow along for more of his work.
