Still United

Alex Myers and Ben McDougal return from the future to refill our mugs and translate nerd into normal. BEN BOT kicks off 2025 with a compelling thought on accelerationism. The humans then chime in on the evolution of AI, nuerotech, and the confluence of human and machines.

After the break that invites openess, we discuss the state of web3, corporate networks vs. blockchain networks, state management, material science, and how society can thrive even with information overload.
