In this episode, we take a moment to explore The Milgram Experiments, and people's propensity to inflict pain on another, by virtue of obeying perceived authority.

This is such a powerful idea, and one that sits at the bedrock of the whole Remnant / Parasite / Masses framework.

In future I'll do one the Asch experiment also.

This is a fantastic book

I hope enjoy the excerpt.

John Carvalho, Bitcoin OG and founder of Synonym joins me to cover Bitcoin is a "Game".

- A definition of Bitcoin, not a metaphor.

- Bitcoin is not money, not energy, not a battery.

- Which Metaphors are useful?

- Religion & evolution.

- Consuming Reality

- Awareness / Consciousness

- Becoming an UberMensch

And we dug into the company he's founded, which I think is one of the most important in Bitcoin:

Synonym

New primitives for the web.

Web of Trust

Building the protocol, applications, or both?

And much more.

In this episode, we read an excerpt from the great book by Larken Rose; "The Most Dangerous Superstition".

We explore a series of things including:

- "I'm just doing my job" syndrome

- The idea of a "Law Enforcer"

- Morality 

- Free Will

And what I think is one of the most poignant points, the fact that the most dangerous thing people can do is not malevolence or violence, but blindly obeying orders.

This is a fantastic book

I hope enjoy the excerpt.

Hey everyone!

Trying something new today.

I wanted to answer a series of comments from Fountain and discuss a few outstanding ideas to make the podcast more interactive.

This is something I think I'll do every 20 or so episodes.

Maybe more frequently. Let's see how it goes.

Back to regular screening next week, with the next instalment of the Rob Malka series.

Lastly, I promised a link to the vide, The 5 Laws of Stupidity:

https://youtu.be/3O9FFrLpinQ

Enjoy!
