In this episode, we dive into how and why The Bitcoin Blockchain Can Record Non-Bitcoin Events, in other words how the technology works to record things like photographs, and documents, and why that would be useful for us to have as an immutable recording of the historical events of an Economy and Society. And Ultimately how Cryptohistory is Cryptographically Verifiable Macrohistory We cover: How...

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of Bitcoin's blockchain technology and how it can be used to record history in a robust and trustworthy way.  From digital signatures to cryptographic hash functions, we dive into the technical details and explain why they matter for keeping records that are almost impossible to falsify.   We cover how blockchain technology can log crucia...

Macro history is the history of non-reproducible systems. So what does this mean? A non-reproducible system is one in which there are too many variables to be easily reset and replayed from the beginning. It is history that is not directly amenable to a controlled experiment. On a very large scale, it is the history of humanity. With the introduction of document digitization, macro history can be...

The scale of history is huge, the timeframe is long, and the measurements are often intentionally corrupted. After all, history is written by the winners, can be influenced by many factors, and needs to be verified. This verification comes through the analysis of historiography, which is the study of historical recordkeeping. It is important to look at history to understand these trajectories beca...

Severin Deutschmann, Founder and Managing Director of OpenTelos.com, shares his thoughts on: - network states enabling bottom-up regulation - algorithms being designed to control us - t...

Are leaders prioritizing the right metrics? Why does history matter for startups? There’s a lot to consider here. While many might argue that profit should be prioritized above all else, many also oppose this claim, suggesting that people’s happiness matters more than monetary value. This episode will cover our thoughts on the following topics: What makes a good leader? Is GDP the most important m...

Why does history matter? How do we know if society is broken or not?  What’s the point in keeping track of everything that’s happened before?  How does history influence the present and future?   The Network State by Balaji Srinivasan makes the case that history is crucial for several reasons:   In part one of this episode we covered:  - How History is how you win the argu...

- Why does history matter?   - What’s the point in keeping track of everything that’s happened before?  - How does history influence the present and future?   The Network State by Balaji Srinivasan makes the case that history is crucial because:    - History is how you win the argument. Winning arguments need more than pure logic alone; you need facts, so you need history....

Leaders cannot exist without followers. But followers cannot be coerced. A good boss must be a good leader. If not, followers will desert or mutiny and find a new leader. This is the eternal dynamic between a leader versus a boss. And leaders versus followers. Traditionally, the mark of a strong tech company has been its innovation first, and company culture second. However, when it comes to creat...

In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of The Network State popularized by Balaji Srinivasan.   Technology has allowed us to start new companies, new communities, and new currencies. But can we use it to create new cities or even new countries? A key concept is to go cloud-first, land last — but not land never — by starting with an online community and then materializing it into the physi...
