TOPIC

How do we know?

Bitcoin is a communication protocol of distributed decentralized databases. Bitcoin also has the slogan of “Don’t trust. Verify.” Is communication possible and how (if at all) can we trust the knowledge that we acquire through our senses? Agust presents a practical approach to this topic, drawing metaphors from how Bitcoin operates.

Discussion includes:

• Critical thinking and how becoming self sovereign builds that.
• Quantum entanglement and how we have evidence for truths that defy our everyday experience.
• How engaging in communication, receiving and sharing, helps build a stronger worldview.
