Welcome to Gradient Proof. A long-form discussion on a range of topics from AI to philosophy to entrepreneurship. We start each podcast sober and let the proof gradient the course of discussion. This is a Pilot Episode 1, topics discussed on this episode are Longevity, Digital Dark Ages, Computation, Treating Aging. As always we encourage you to drink with us, welcome to the gradient.
MORE ABOUT GRADIENT PROOF:
A longform discussion between co-hosts Roy Peer, an architect turned entrepreneur and sci-fi author, & Steven W Sorensen, a global soul turned tech finance and corporate board enthusiast, on a wide range of topics ranging from AI to philosophy to entrepreneurship. We aim to bring on great minds, from the renown to the unknown, to discuss things we find interesting.
We start each podcast sober and let the proof gradient the course of discussion. Just like Hitchcock built suspense by placing a ticking time b-mb under the table of two people having a simple conversation, the status along the gradient proof can act to end the discussion at any moment, preferably on a high note, yet sometimes leaving questions unanswered. We encourage you to drink with us, and let the questions lead you to your own answers and explorations.
We hope you’ll join us on the journey, cheers.
