Ep 279: Abhijit Bhaduri Breaks the Algorithm
The Seen and the Unseen - hosted by Amit Varma
The Relationship Between Form and Content
Whet: I'd approach a five minute interview completely differently. If i'm doing half an hour potcas and maybe i have to read your book, but i don't have to read anything else. And my point was that the form not only shapes a content, it shapes a person. Whet: We need to get out more. We need to talk more. So much to think about here.
If you make space for serendipity in your life, good things happen.
