Who was Will Hays, and how did he come to put his name on the censorship “Code” that would shape the content of movies more than any other single force from the early 1930s into the 1960s? How much power did Hays really have in 1920s Hollywood, how corrupt was he, and why did it take a decade before the Hays Code was fully enforced?

On this episode of The Knowledge Project, I’m happy to have William MacAskill. William is the co-founder and President of the <a href= "http://centreforeffectivealtruism.org/">Centre for Effective Altruism</a> (CEA) and an Associate Professor in Philosophy at Oxford University. He is also the founder and president of 80,000 Hours, the co-founder and vice-president of Giving What We Can, and the author of Doing Good Better: Effective Altruism and a Radical New Way to Make a Difference. William’s work is primarily focused on encouraging people to use reason and evidence to find the best possible ways they can use their resources to make the biggest possible impact in the world. We cover a lot of ground in this interview, including: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Why good intentions aren’t enough when giving to charity and how we can do better</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">How William's giving philosophy was formed and how it developed into The Centre for Effective Altruism</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The best metrics to assess how good a charity is before donating a dime</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">How letting our emotions guide our charitable giving can lead to ineffective, and sometimes harmful outcomes.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">How many charities today unknowingly reward low dollar donors and sell themselves short millions of dollars in potential donations</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">A powerful thought exercise to help you gain a different but valuable perspective about helping the poor and suffering in the world</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The one cognitive bias William believes is the most damaging to any business, organization or individual</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">William’s foundational values that guide his day to day decisions and actions</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">William’s take on “radical honesty” and when honesty can be taken too far and is no longer constructive</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">William’s definition of success and the imaginary conversation he has with himself on his deathbed to make sure he’s on the right track (this is awesome)</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The most common mistake William sees people make over and over (and the embarrassingly simple way to avoid making it)</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">And then to wrap up, I gave him a softball question: What is the purpose and meaning of life?</li> </ul> If you’ve wanted to make more of a positive impact in the world around you, this insightful interview will give you plenty to think about. Your resources are precious and should be optimized to improve the lives of those you help. I don’t know of a better person to guide you than William. *** Go Premium: Members get early access, ad-free episodes, hand-edited transcripts, searchable transcripts, member-only episodes, and more.

Dan Buettner is a National Geographic fellow, in charge of leading expeditions - he’s essentially a real life Indiana Jones. Having him on my podcast meant we got to discuss all the incredible places he has been and how it has led to his work on Blue Zones, a term he’s coined to designate the healthiest places on earth. Through research and study, Dan and his team were able to identify the 9 commonalities between all the Blue Zones - and those 9 things might surprise you. Tune into this brand new episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy for more!Also, it would be mean so much to me if you left a review - for whatever reason, those go a very long way, and they mean a lot to us.

After shooting a film with a much-changed Jean-Luc Godard, Jane Fonda travels to Vietnam, where she naively participates in a stunt that would leave her branded “Hanoi Jane” for decades. The world media had a field day mocking her, the US government set to work plotting to destroy her, and Jane would seek refuge in a new relationship with activist-turned-politician Tom Hayden. Meanwhile, in the midst of divorcing Romain Gary, Jean found herself pregnant. Having wiretapped a phone call between Jean and a Black Panther about her pregnancy, the FBI decided to “neutralize” both Seberg and her unborn child.

112: Hanoi Jane & The FBI vs. Jean Seberg’s Baby (Jean & Jane Part 7)

Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans” has got to be one of the most famous images of the 20th century. But at the time, Warhol’s use of advertising and imagery from consumer culture was super controversial. So was his unabashed desire to become famous. Abbi and Rookie editor Tavi Gevinson wonder what Warhol might do in an age of social media. Then, Abbi gets a behind-the-scenes look at the work of Beatriz González, whose posters covered the city of Bogotá in a brave gesture of political expression.

A Piece of Work

Andy Warhol’s Art of Self-Promotion

What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a question we ask children, and adults. In American culture the concept of the future self is critical, required. It drives us to improve, become a richer, more successful, happier version of who we are now. It keeps us from getting blinkered by the world we grew up in, allowing us to see into other potential worlds, new and different concepts, infinite other selves. But the future self can also torture us, mocking us for who we have failed to become. We travel to North Port, Florida, where the principal of a high school did something extreme and unusual to help his students strive for grander future selves - a noble American experiment that went horribly wrong. If you or somebody you know might need help, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 at 1-800-273-8255 or at suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Headlong: Missing Richard Simmons

No matter what sport you play, the object of the game is to win. And that’s hard enough to do. But we found a match where four top athletes had to do the opposite in one of the most high profile matches of their careers. Thanks to a quirk in the tournament rules, their best shot at winning was … to lose. 

This episode, we scrutinize the most paradoxical and upside down badminton match of all time, a match that dumbfounded spectators, officials, and even the players themselves. And it got us to wondering …  what would sports look like if everyone played to lose?
