Does Philosophy Make Progress? Chatting with Every's Dan Shipper

Description

Is the AI revolution we're experiencing going to push us into a future we can't imagine? Or will the pace of progress enable us to adjust along the way?

Dan Shipper spends his time thinking and writing on these topics (and many others) as the founder and CEO of Every Media, a technology-focused publication trying to understand the future. Dan is also a lifelong coder and entrepreneur with a background in philosophy and its intersection with tech. Dan and I share a ton in common (beyond just our first names!), so I think you all will enjoy our thoughts on...

  • The meaning of the "good life"
  • Whether the study of philosophy evolves over time
  • How cryptocurrency, AI, and the nature of knowledge will accelerate each other
  • The value of philosophy and thinking for thinking's sake
  • What the future holds for engineering, philosophy, and humanity at large
