I started the Local Maximum Podcast in 2017 to speak to all the interesting builders and teachers around me in tech. If you love to learn and to build, and if you celebrate human freedom as one of the main ingredients for this - join us!
Frequent topics include:
Philosophy of Truth and Probability (are you a Bayesian?)
Machine Learning and AI: what can it teach us about knowledge, and what will these advancements make possible
Censorship and the flow of information
Emerging Technology and its implications for the future
Social Trends and how to interpret them
I tell people that I strive to make each episode something the average person can listen to, and then I crank up the tech talk and wonkishness a notch or two above where the average podcast goes. All people and perspectives are welcome!
Aaron ( @OldWindways ) stopped by yesterday and we talked about the private space initiatives of Branson (Virgin Galactic), Bezos, and Musk.
Max and Aaron discuss what makes good nachos and what can go wrong in Episode 158 (not yet released)
Starting today, all your paid subscriptions will be moved over to substack!
I'm still a huge fan of the locals platform, but with my small audience, and desire to publish podcasts and articles directly, substack is a better fit for The Local Maximum right now.
The substack is at localmaximum.substack.com - you should be getting some emails for the latest episodes. Always feel free to reach out at [email protected]
Folks - I know we've been on hiatus for the last few weeks, but I'm looking forward to getting back into the Local Maximum, and also supporting our move over to substack! I hope to reach out to you individually as well!
Happy holidays everyone!
Let's disrupt our festivities with some thought-provoking insights into our future.
In this week's episode, Max and Aaron finished their discussion on "The Fourth Turning is Here" and talk about what may be in store for the rest of the Fourth Turning Crisis and what the next several decades might look like as a result.
Make sure to tune in as you welcome the new year!
