From the Bitcoin Magazine Archives | Recorded 7/26/2023 Join Hosts Spencer Nichols and Christian Keroles for a conversation with Reed College Philosophy Professor Troy Cross on the nature of epistemology, truth, and the knowledge crisis. We discuss the constraints on obtaining knowledge of the world, how beliefs are formed based on that knowledge, and how our society’s ability to collectively makes sense of the word is fundamentally built on inter-personal trust. What might be the role of Bitcoin, a trust-minimized distributed time-stamping protocol, in restoring sensemaking in Western society? Also featuring Matthew Pines and Jamie King. -Spencer Nichols (https://x.com/DeSpencer_?s=20)-Christian Keroles ( https://x.com/ck_SNARKs?s=20)-Troy Cross (https://x.com/thetrocro?s=20)-Matthew Pines (https://x.com/matthew_pines?s=20)-Jamie King (https://x.com/jamie_jk?s=20) __________________ Enter the Bitcoin Halving Challenge!
