Episode notes
Bitcoin's Anonymity
- Bitcoin's power stems partly from the anonymity of its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
- This removes the ego from the phenomenon, making it a movement larger than any individual.
The Meta-Crisis
- Exponential technologies are exploding without a parallel development in interior technologies like value.
- This imbalance creates a meta-crisis, threatening both humanity and our humanity.
Cosmoerotic Humanism
- Cosmoerotic humanism suggests the universe itself has a narrative arc, driven by a desire for deeper contact and greater wholeness.
- This "eros" is a fundamental principle, not a human construct, evolving from subatomic particles to human consciousness.
