Philosophers In Space - 0G110: What’s Expected of Us and Dennett’s Compatibilism

Turns out Thomas has a bit of a free will monkey on his back, so we're going the full Dune on Daniel Dennett's compatibilism. We started out with Devs and the paradox of predictability and now we're on to a short story about predictors and what they might mean for our sense of meaning and purpose. We're going to follow up with another short story from Ted Chiang's Exhalation and then check out the anime Psychopass. All because we're lucky enough to do so.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Central Banks Cannot Print Jobs: Understanding Real Economic Recovery, Feat. Daniel Lacalle

Today on the Brief:

  • Social media apps get caught in geopolitical tensions 
  • Pitchforks around the Paycheck Protection Program 
  • Brazil blocks Binance

This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Crypto.com.

Our main discussion is with Daniel Lacalle. Daniel is chief economist at Tressis and is the author of numerous books including “Life in the Financial Markets,” “Escape from the Central Bank Trap” and his most recent, “Freedom or Equality.” He has been named one of the 100 most influential economists in the world by Richtopia. 

In this conversation, he and NLW discuss:

  • Why the recovery will likely be “L” shaped and uneven, not “V” shaped
  • Why the “bailout of everything” undermines capitalism and promotes zombie companies that can’t service their debts
  • Why zombie companies crowd out space for startups and small businesses 
  • How government programs can incentivize relationships with government over strong business practices 
  • How the current economic crisis could become a banking crisis

Education and public health experts agree it's important that kids get back to school in the fall. The question is how to do it safely. NPR's Anya Kamenetz reports on some radical ideas for reopening.

Some experts say there's increasing evidence that COVID-19 is transmitted through particles that travel through the air when we breathe. The World Health Organization has been cautious about confirming that idea.
