Discerning Intentions, Part 1

With Nishaan Sharma

Conversation recorded on June 15, 2025.

How can we judge the intentions of others? In this episode of the Axioms First Podcast, I present a simple framework for discerning the intentions of individuals and groups. I am joined by Nishaan Sharma, who both offers his critique and elicits my clarification. We discuss the limitations of my model as well as its applicability to different scales of human action, from geopolitics to interpersonal relationships. Ultimately, Nishaan and I felt there was more to discuss. You can listen to part 2 of our conversation here, on Nishaan’s podcast.

Nishaan Sharma writes Notes From Hiroshima.
