In this episode, we talk to Ryan Peterson, better known by his Twitter handle @ResonantPyre. Ryan is a 19-year old freshman at the University of Chicago, currently on leave from his studies due the coronavirus pandemic. But that hasn’t stopped him from learning. Ryan continues to read on his own and brilliantly marries the fields of philosophy and politics in his insightful and eloquently composed tweets. We talk to him the tragedy of modern life, creating public digital goods, conceptualizing a decentralized internet, and his advice for young intellectuals.
