Bitcoin as the Digital Revolution with Alexander Bard - Freedom Footprint 34

In this episode we are joined by Alexander Bard - Swedish musician turned philosopher and theologian. He is the co-author of 5 books, soon to be 6, including The Netocrats, The Global Empire, and Syntheism - Creating God in the Internet Age. He is a major proponent of Syntheism, a movement focused on how atheists and pantheists can achieve the same feelings of community and awe experienced in traditional theistic religions. This is a wide-ranging talk on many topics we’ve never tackled before. We deep dive into AI, game theory, centralization and decentralization, religion, the idea of the shamanic or shamanoid individual, attentionalism and capitalism, trust… the list goes on and on but at the core we discuss the revolution of Bitcoin.
