Will Bitcoin Lead to Anarchy? with Max Borders (WiM372)
The "What is Money?" Show
Introduction to 'Underthrow' and Consensual Change
This chapter introduces the guest, a writer and author of 'Underthrow', and discusses the concept of 'Underthrow' as a means of bringing about change through consensual relationships and peaceful methods.
Max Borders joins me to discuss the bloodless revolution of Bitcoin, the development of morality, how incentives influence people, and the pursuit of happiness.
Max Borders is the author of The Social Singularity and Underthrow. He is also the Executive Director at Social Evolution.
