I talked yesterday with Balaji Srinivasan. This is a rather focused conversation. The theme is history: what can we know about the history of the present moment, what is the final significance of our moment in history. We discuss two events I think we both agree have a claim to being considered the defining historical events of our lifetimes: Covid and crypto. Balaji tries to help us understand how they will look like in the fullness of time. Another way to put it: how will Covid and crypto be written about by historians decades into the future.

Bruno's questions really showcase how simplistic Silicon Valley thinking can be at times. Especially the bit about comparing Bill Gates to Satoshi.
Good stuff Bruno!
