(5:50) The hidden limitations of modern-day supply chains, despite their ultra-efficiency, with examples, and a better metric to work with.
(7:51) The wonders of synthetic biology, and the possibilities (and hazards) it holds for the revolutionization of manufacturing and food production.
(12:17) What is construction theory? And is there a connection between it and synthetic biology?
(17:02) Are there contradictions between what is possible in quantum mechanics and not possible in classical dynamics?
(24:22) How cats got a sweet deal by optimally navigating of the curiosity-survivability loop.
(31:00) Modeling COVID-19 as a network problem; how this can allow for more flexible solutions; the uncertainties involved.
(35:47) Atoms, bits, biotechnology and the dawn of a new Information Age
(38:45) Why is science, which is one in actual reality, so fragmented in theory?
(41:02) Why Jude believes our educational system, in its current form, is suboptimal.
(46:06) A theory of U.B.I. as a means of making ownership, rather than income, more widely available; how making capitalist incentives and access to ownership widespread in a transparent market can make an economy flourish.
(54:27) Is the loss of labor (increase in automation) leading to the loss of sovereignty among individuals? Is there anything we can do about it?
(57:24) What can we do to steer the future in a different direction? How do we build a vision of where we want to go?
(1:03:41) Does our generation have the courage to make the changes necessary to face our coming future?
(1:12:31) Why social distancing should have been called physical distancing instead.
Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. This podcast doesn't really have a specific theme. It covers a lot of my interests. It covers a lot of other people's interests. It goes into philosophy, spirituality, business, how to live a good life, many different things. Ultimately, I don't believe in having themes for the things that we do. We can categorize the things and obviously we categorize things all the time, but I like to keep things open ended a continuous process of discovering the truth as it is. And the truth is tricky because we can't really get to the truth exactly, because the truth is non linear. It is, in the words of John Vervaeke, combinatorially explosive. Even the truth of this window that I'm looking at, the window itself, the glass that makes up the window, is combinatorially explosive. The cup that holds your water is combinatorially explosive. You cannot model that cup totally in your head. You're only getting an image of it with your eyes and your brain. That's not the actual cup itself. So this show is a discovery of truth wherever it may appear. By talking to people from various different fields. I've talked to artists, engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, refugees, just talking to anybody who has a glimpse into the truth. And through this conversation, through this mutual inquiry into what is true, what is real, hopefully we get to something that is helpful for to you
