π§ Do Explain
It’s not every day I get to talk about how we should make the future come sooner, bitcoin, David Deutsch, Starcraft, naive pessimists, Northvolt, filter bubbles, space and AI – all in the same podcast.
But that I did Chris LΓΆvgren in his podcast Do Explain.
He started the podcast a couple of years ago to better understand David Deutsch’s thoughts and ideas. David is one of my intellectual heroes. His book The Beginning of Infinity is the top three books I read.
I wrote about one of David’s conclusions here: Infinite human knowledge is possible.
