Description

Tim Ferris once called Kevin Kelly "The Real Most Interesting Man in the World," and it is an opinion that we both share. After dropping out of college, Kevin Kelly spent his youth backpacking through Asia with next to nothing to his name.

Years later he would become the first Executive Editor of Wired Magazine, an author whose books on technology would inspire films like the Matrix, and one of the modern Godfathers of Futurism, Cybernetics, and Artificial Intelligence.

In this episode we discuss why slack and rest should be an integral part of our lives, the dangers of Nationalism, whether or not AI will ever gain sentience, and why the future is shaped by optimists.
