Civilization as Coordination at a Distance | The Aneesh Karve Series | Episode 7 (WiM286)
The "What is Money?" Show
Is Religion a Good Metaphor?
Religion is not a good metaphor, but a belief that can't be questioned. How do we avoid becoming what we're criticizing, which is just immunity to evidence? Well, you know, I don't completely know the answer, but for me, it's always celebrating this necessary process of open inquiry.
In this episode, Aneesh Karve joins me for a detailed conversation on the book, "Discrimination and Disparities" by Thomas Sowell. We discuss the problems of the current social vision, the importance of testing the Marxist hypothesis, the cure for dogmatism, and how we change for the better.
Aneesh Karve is the Co-founder and CTO of Quilt. He's an expert at data, visualization, entrepreneurship, Bitcoin, and economics.
