Welcome to Episode Nr. 2 of the DeSci Podcast - Today we're exploring the decentralized science reformation together with no other than Balaji Srinivasan! We're incredibly proud to be joined by such a smart and well-known mind as a second guest on "The DeSci Podcast" show!

Topics of this episode:

→ Key factors holding back scientific progress and how to change it (also via DeSci). 🧪

→ What role does AI play here?

→ The future of human optimalism.

→ How to make predictions in technology?

(+ many more & some great advice for DeSci builders at the end from Balaji)

Due to his nature, we're slipping in many other interesting topics while tackling those above! 💙
