At the Crossroads: Nine short recordings

2025-01-27

I haven’t been doing a lot of public speaking recently, but when I was in Taiwan a few weeks ago I gave an informal talk entitled “Taiwan at the Crossroads.” Well, a lot of more general themes came up, because after all, the whole world is at a crossroads that takes a different form in each country. So here are some outtakes that may be of general interest. The video quality was poor, so these are just audio:

• Part 1: Science Through the Lens of Myth

• Part 2: Why quantum physics has not changed us much

• Part 3: Capitalism won't destroy itself

• Part 4: Our choices determine human nature

• Part 5: When the logical mind gets in the way

• Part 6: Valuing All Sources of Knowledge

• Part 7: The Mindset of Force and Control

• Part 8: The Breakdown of Consensus Reality

• Part 9: Development and the Myth of Progress
