E61| Value & Exchange, w/ Matthew Pirkowski
Recorded in February 2022, this dialogue is about the nature of value, wealth and exchange in consideration of paradigm shifting digital communications platforms. It begins with my asking Matthew how he thinks about the nature of thinking itself, and also about what matters in life.
