The Four Laws of Life

In this podcast, Michael presents the four laws of life that he explores in his book. The first law is the law of energy, which highlights the importance of excess energy to drive human progress. The second law is the law of innovation, which emphasizes the role of using energy more efficiently and finding new ways to harness it. The third law is the law of cooperation, which asserts that the scale at which humans work together is determined by the per person level of energy available. Lastly, the fourth law is the law of evolution, which explains how humans navigate the space of possibilities through genetic and cultural evolutionary processes.
