Erik is joined on this episode by Paul Bohm (@paulsbohm), investor and entrepreneur. They tackle a variety of topics on this wide-ranging episode, including:- How Paul became fascinated with self-perpetuating systems.- Why the European startup scene is problematic, why he is short Silicon Valley, and the idea of importing law from one jurisdiction to another (as companies do with Delaware C Corp designation). - The idea of narrative bias, what a “zombie field” is, and the rule of “Occam’s Bikini.”- Why he thinks that the prospects for AI and its impact on the world are overrated, despite the increasing hype cycle around the field.- His thoughts on collective sense-making and why, if we can’t escape echo chambers, we need a diversity of echo chambers.- Why he looks to youth as harbingers for how society will evolve in the future.- Influencer culture and why he says the impact of it is actually underrated.Remember to apply for the winter vintage of our Network Catalyst accelerator!
