A Theory of Live Players - Geoff Anders, Leverage Research - DSPod #310

Geoff Anders is the director of Leverage Research, a think tank
devoted to understanding the nature of progress and the arc of
scientific insights. Anders wants to understand what sort of
cultural context creates the ability to make valuable insights
into the mechanisms of nature. After mapping some of the
interplay between science, society, and religion, we turn to the
questions of how to spark a golden age at a time where
institutions feel increasingly frail, just how effective we want
our science to be, and what to do with the fact that everyone
seems to really love magic. DEMYSTICON 2025 ANNUAL MEETING IN

https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD
studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
