Generally speaking, Scott Aaronson has been really fun to listen to on variety of topics. I would suggest listening a few recent podcast he appeared on youtube. He has this really nice combination of no-bullshit and rigorous attitude.

Though I would suggest avoiding his political blog posts. It's not even that I disagree with him (though of course I do in some areas), it's just that they are a real sad read.

To end on a positive note: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=735 is a real gem!
