Is the host a machine?
This conversation is far from that.
He's just quick at thinking up questions and doesn't have a tendency to insert fillers like umms and ahhs in his speech.
Tyler currently hosts one of the most interesting podcasts on the Internet, "Conversations with Tyler" [1] for people with omnivorous interests. His guest list is a who's who of the trendiest (unorthodox?) thinkers today (e.g. Vitalik Buterin, Bruno Macaes, Claire Lehmann, Nassim Taleb, Agnes Callard, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Thiel, etc.)
Topics of conversation are similarly omnivorous, from Chinese food to loneliness.
