How Cultural Evolution Is Shaping Our Future with Robin Hanson

The shifts in cultural evolution are impacting our society in ways we can’t ignore.

Today, we're joined by Robin Hanson, economist and polymath from George Mason University. Robin is known for exploring questions that often remain unanswered, from prediction markets to the possibilities of alien civilizations.

In this conversation, we explore how his Futarchy concept, after 26 years, has found its way into the world of crypto, the effects of cultural drift, and the intersection of population decline with advancing AI. We dive into how society has lost some of its evolutionary selection pressures and uncover some of the hidden challenges we face.

Robin's insights on cultural drift and potential solutions at the scale of civilization will give you a new way of looking at the world.
