IF you know of any, then please let me know! @polyinnovator

Please note due to to technical difficulties some parts may be out of sync because of zoom. I tried to edit it into place where I could! The audio changes a bit when we transition over. I did try to make sure it stayed stereo quality, but I had a lot of trouble with that. I'm just glad that Justin came into the show ready to go, and helped me make an awesome piece of content!

HTTP or IPFS, what are you talking about Dustin?

How we use the internet, and where we are headed.

There are plenty of ways of interacting with links nowadays, versus the early 2000's where you had to scour forums to find any link to a new site.

With the upcoming OmniContent Mini Series, around The Polymath Spectrum; I included many links to the the research sources I used to consolidate my ideas into the sprints.

Today we are talking with Michael Barnathan the Founder of many projects, include the Project Polymath, of which we'll get into today. As well as overall techie, #polymath, engineer, and machine learning expert.

**What are three principles to your life?**

Learn as much as possible

Do the hard things

Lift others up with your success

"The one thing I want people to take away from this, is that we need to be driving more creativity into education. We need to be giving people the opportunity to come up with their own ideas, and to have the chance to showcase them and develop them. Turn them into things. If we can change the way people think about that, that will be more powerful than the innovations that will come out of it."
