Ep 18 Bitcoin Atheists Pt 1, Knut Svanholm, BTC Sessions, Aleks Svetski, Wake Up Podcast

Joining me on Episode 18 of the Wake Up Podcast, and the third episode of the Hall of Fame Series are Knut Svanholm and Ben from BTC Sessions. This episode is called "Bitcoin Atheists" and will have to be part 1 of 2 because there was so much to go through and we hit 3hrs already!   We dug into alot of things, including:   Definitions for:  God  Religion  Prophets  Spirituality  A higher power  Consciousness & Connectedness  A void that binds / the ultimate being  Love & Connectedness  Atheism  Truth (although we didn't get into this enough)   Is the bible agnostic, but the 'religionisation' of it & the subsequent institutionalisation is where the problem lies?   Did Religion & the nation state initially help us transcend the version of power in place?   Responsibility / removal of skin in the game is how the system rots.   Were the message of texts like the bible were about taking responsibility in some sense?   Bottom up VS top down transformation   Necessary steps in the evolution of humans?  Spiral Dynamics  General history   Are we living in a Simulation??   Religion / Democracy & Time Preference (but will save this more for part 2).    This was a fantastic call & discussion.  Follow these fine gentlemen on Twitter and each of their other platforms:   Knut: @KnutSvanholm on twitter https://youtu.be/2pDlaOGA2ac https://www.amazon.com/Knut-Svanholm/e/B087WQ4H28/  BTC Sessions: @BTCSessions on twitter. http://btcsessions.ca/​ https://anchor.fm/btcsessions​    ____________________________________   Thanks again for listening.  Subscribe on YouTube, Anchor, Spotify And follow me on Twitter @AleksSvetski and https://svetski.medium.com More coming soon!
