Ian Rogers ran digital at LVMH and worked with everyone from Apple to the Beastie Boys. In this conversation, we dive into culture, technology, politics, and the collapse of the old systems & what might replace them.

We explore: – Why education is broken & what should replace it – AI, quantum & disruptive technologies – From state to network: Balaji's thesis and the network future – Creativity, free speech & the failure of mainstream culture – How to raise kids who thrive in chaos – What punk rock teaches us about politics, identity & belonging
