Ideology is turning into biology, creating two new 'religions' focused on government rather than God.

Today, we welcome Balaji Srinivasan once again on The Ranveer Show. He is an American entrepreneur & investor. He co-founded Counsyl, the former Chief Technology Officer of Coinbase, and a former general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
In this episode, Balaji Srinivasan discusses the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in the context of American political polarization. He argues that the US is undergoing a process of a digital Civil War, with the left and right increasingly separated in terms of ideology and social networks. He highlights the role of technology and media in driving this polarization, with the rise of wokeness, the decline of mainstream media, and the impact of social media on politics.
This was another epic conversation that we had with Balaji, sir. If you’re someone who loves our geopolitical conversations, this episode is definitely for you. I hope you like this episode and share your thoughts in the comments section.
