Book Club: The Order Of Time (Part 3) - What Happens When Nothing Happens?

Disruptors and curious minds, book lovers. Welcome to book club. We're reading The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli....And this week It's a battle between Newton and Aristotle and Einstein in the referee. It's twisted. Like space and time. Who is right? Does time move, what happens when nothing happens? Gravitational fields. Quantum gravity. Just what the hell is time? Benjamin Franklin said once you lose it, you’ll never find it again. Theophrastrus said it was the most valuable thing you can spend. Pericles said it was the wisest counsellor of all. Oscar Wilde said punctuality steals it away. Turns out they were all wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein. “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Or, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.” Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.” Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.” Time really is all we have. Please Enjoy The Show. =============================== Praise For The Order Of Time Philip Pullman: "Wonderful... Time is something we know about instinctively, here Carlo shows how profoundly strange it is." John Banville: "Physics has found its poet." Tom Whipple: "An elegantly concise primer that makes theoretical physics intelligible stunningly written." 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60ioQBXHh9A&t=868s 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club:⁠ ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠⁠ Connect with Mark:⁠ ⁠Mark Fielding⁠⁠ Connect with Jeremy:⁠ ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠⁠ #bookclub #books #bookcommunity #booklovers #theorderoftime #time

StepN: How To Survive The Bear Market And Build A Billion Dollar Solana App - Shiti Manghani, CEO

Disruptors and curious minds! Welcome to Thinking On Paper: real conversations on the impact of emerging technologies on business and culture. This week we’re speaking with Stepn CEO Shiti Manghani. Solana is has over taken Ethereum in terms of defi transactions... it has perhaps the most engaged audience in cryptocurrency, all the memecoins and more problems on decentralization than a blockchain should wish to have... so why the success? 👟 STEPN is a web3 lifestyle and fitness app built on the Solana blockchain . It launched on December 1st 2021 with 99,999 NFT trainers. Each cost 1.3 SOL (Sol was trading at $228 dollars that day). In March 2022, they launched their governance token, GMT. The following month GMT was worth $4 and Stepn had a $3 billion market cap. If I’m reading the charts correctly, at one point 24-hour trading surpassed $4 billion. Someone sold a Stepn NFT for 58 Sol. Pretty darn extraordinary. Move-to-earn was a thing. You probably remember it. Of course there were many imitators to the Stepn throne. You could sleep, eat, meditate and (insert verb here)… to earn. The Stepn concept - if not the tech - was simple: you won GST (Green Satoshi Tokens, not GMT) based on how far you ran, jumped, hopped, swam, crawled. I'll be honest, I stopped paying attention at that point. But here’s the thing. Where most died, Stepn survived. Yes, It took a hit. The floor price is 0.01 Sol. GMT is trading at $0.2. But the market cap is still half a billion. A community has stuck with them. Or a new one joined. Stepn has matured. It's a lifestyle app. A social platform. Where people want to get healthy (and wealthy?) Strava meets couch-to-5k meets friend Tech. Last week it announced a partnership with Adidas. We're curious to know more. ===================== TIMESESTAMPS (0:00) Disruptors And Curious Minds (0:48) Web3 Remembers Stepn 2:04 Our Sponsors Wripple 2:34 Welcome Shiti Manghani 3:26 What Excites Shiti About Her Role In Stepn 7:01 The Stepn Story 10:10 What Is Stepn? 10:30 Stepn For Beginners 12:52 Explain The Stepn NFTS 15:13 How Did Stepn Survive The Bear Market? 18:55 The Adidas Collaboration 22:13 Real Life Stepn Fitness Success Stories 25:00 How Much Can You Earn In Stepn? 29:20 Community Building 31:45 Apple Pay 34:40 The Future Of Stepn 36:53 Rewards And Micro Payments 40:10 How To Create A Global Time With Solana 43:44 How To Onboard The Next Generation 45:19 Book Club ================================ 🎧 Listen Now & Enjoy the Show! 👉 Sponsors: ⁠www.wripple.com⁠ 👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj2aj0zkIKo&t=496s 🔗 Follow Mark And Jeremy: Join the Book Club: ⁠Thinking on Paper⁠ Connect with Mark: ⁠Mark Fielding⁠ Connect with Jeremy: ⁠Jeremy Gilbertson⁠ #web3 #blockchain #solana #movetoearn #lifestyle
