In this episode of Hashing It Out, the hosts interview Michael Parenti, discussing blockchain technology, proof of work versus proof of stake, and his emigration to Europe to become Exiled Surfer.
They delve into the philosophy of being a cypherpunk and the shift towards cypherpunks revealing their identities to advocate for their principles publicly. Additionally, there’s an intriguing discourse on the concept of network states and parallel societies, exploring how modern technology facilitates new community structures and societal norms.
The conversation briefly touches on the complexities and frustrations of the healthcare system, emphasising the necessity for innovation and alternative structures across various domains.
