Totally different take from Dr. Levine. Eric opened up the podcast to Sash, gave him lots of space. Sashes comments were brilliant, and Eric acknowledged that. I thought Eric was fascinated, impressed, inspired for the future. The charge of imposing academic dominance is not fair.

Thank you! I know Sash was very happy with our conversation, my questions to him were fair and respectful, and it was clear their main issues with AI were specific to one type (predictive), not the whole field , which the book title may have implied.

Yes, you were respectful and collegial.

FYI, I’ve enjoyed following you for many years. I was Chief of Cardiology at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital/Interfaith medical Center 1981.-2012. GUSTO was so impressive, and you’ve gone on to do so much more since then. Thanks for all this work, Eric. Sanford Leff, Park Slope, Brooklyn

It’s unfortunate that Eric resorted to senior academic authority to come out of the gates not liking the book because of its title and then agreeing with every example explained by Sayash. Then further exerting academic dominance by treating Sayash like a student who perhaps had gone off the rails. I think Eric owes Sayash an apology for not approaching this interview with an open mind and a high level of professionalism.
