Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. This podcast is for you. If you have an insane drive to find the truth of things, it's not the good answers that we seek, but the good questions. I interview a range of different guests from many different fields, all with the intention to uncover the simple truths that are hidden in plain sight. Most people don't want to go there. I go there, my guests go there, and you benefit. Please let me know if you enjoy these episodes and as always, subscribe on itunes, Spotify or wherever you listen to the podcasts. Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. My guest today is Eric Halal. He is the founder of a co founder of Cordis, a dev shop for Urbit apps and probably I'm going to do a couple more episodes on urbit. I promise my listeners that this is not an entirely Urbit podcast. We are going to go back to that breadth of different things. But really excited there's just Urban is such a generative topic, so I'm really excited to keep on digging into exactly what it is because I still don't totally understand what it is. So welcome to the show, Eric.
Well, thank you for having me. And I'm glad that you're doing some shows on Urban. I do think that it's a topic rich for digging into and I'm sure that there's a lot of different expressions that you can eke out of it.
Yeah. And I always find that it always leads to other things that I'm also interested, particularly just the flow of history and where we are now and where we're headed. And it seems like Urbit is the exactly what we need for where for the kind of dystopian projection that I had a couple a year ago or so. And it's getting much more, not necessarily utopian, but it's definitely not as dystopian as before. And a large part of that is due to what the. The potential. I see that with urbit. What do you think about that?
