Bitcoin as an Incorruptible System of Value with Jordan Peterson (WiM168)
The "What is Money?" Show
How a Funny Mem or a Humorous Composer Can Help You
Comedians are able to communicate to people that have those big walls up. They make a joke out of it, and that's therapeutic. That helps us not be fall victim to the hopelessness of all the clown world. And in my opinion, that's one of the top values or virtues that guide us in our life, is that of freedom. If we don't have freedom, then things go to hell.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson joins for me a special edition episode exploring the philosophic implications of Bitcoin as an incorruptible system of value. This episode was recorded in front a live studio audience on April 8th, 2022 during the Bitcoin 2022 Conference in Miami, FL.
