My new gold standard question for a conference is “yeah but doesn’t have a late night sci fi author talk?”
Going to go to this and ask all sorts of questions to sci fi authors.
Discussion
Ramez Naam & Steven Kotler 🧐
Very cool
Rajaniemi!!!
Ramez (“Mez”) is awesome and a good friend. And from Egypt!
Say hi for me!
I had a nice chat with him on energy at lunch. Seems like a great guy.
I pray for the panelists. They don't know what's about to hit them. 😂
Is Batman sci-fi?
Bitcoin standard*
I read Ramex Naam's Nexus a couple of times, really enjoyed it.
Wait... IS sci-fy impossible to write due to the speed of technology?!?!
I fit Nostr into my questions here.
A lot of the sci fi author talk was about potential negative effects of technology. A portion of the talk was about negative social media effects on society.
So I brought up the prospect of Nostr, decentralized social media, and choice of algorithms. So I asked what solutions they might have along those lines or other lines.
