Hard to tell (on my mobile screen anyway), but this was written by John Perry, philosophy professor at Stanford [1]. I've been a huge fan of his ideas on this for ~20 years. He has a number of other light essays. His website appears down at the moment though.

To avoid MeTooism, I'll agree and note that my own favourite among JP's varied, tongue-in-cheek, yet thoughtful essays has always been The Case Against Golf [0].

I had the interesting honor of contacting Edward Snowden so Perry and Ken Taylor could get a radio interview with him once for their philosophy radio show. He does cool stuff

If I'm not mistaken, a portion of the interview you mention can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57sPn6pQzUM

I'm not sure if the full interview is available elsewhere without a paywall.
