Anders Indset is a Norwegian philosopher, author, tech investor, and former Olympic handball player often called “the business philosopher.” He is the founder of the Global Institute of Leadership and Technology and chairman of Njordis Group, a venture firm focused on the intersection of humanity and exponential technologies. Anders has invested in deep tech companies like Terra Quantum and launched The Quantum Economy Alliance to explore the future of innovation. He brings a unique mix of philosophical insight and real-world experience to today’s conversation.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- Why Anders believes our economy is society’s “operating system” and how AI might destabilize or enhance it
- How we’ve built an economy driven by reaction rather than reflection and what it takes to shift toward more thoughtful progress
- What the “final narcissistic injury” means for humanity as we face the rise of superintelligence
- Why it's naive to separate economy from ecology and how the concept of the quantum economy offers a new way to align hyper-efficiency with sustainability
- The difference between artificial general intelligence and artificial human intelligence and why Anders argues for enhancing ourselves before trying to replace us
- What the technological singularity really is, why it's misunderstood, and how Anders thinks we should prepare for it
