We're joined by Charlie Warzel, who writes the newsletter Galaxy Brain for The Atlantic, to talk about a recent piece on Web3, crypto economies and the phenomena of a technology that's desperately searching for a culture to justify its existence. We talk about how the shift to web3 relates to the 'vibe shift' - moving to an undefined space that is categorised as 'the future' with no further explanations required, and what this suggests about how we conceive of trends, viral content and popularity on the internet. We also talk about Jordan Peterson giving the keynote at this year's Bitcoin conference, which has seemingly made a bunch of Bitcoin guys on Reddit kinda mad!
