Rising Waters, Hidden History - Samo Burja, Bismarck Analysis

Samo Burja is a research fellow at the Long Now Foundation, the
founder of Bismarck Analysis, and originator of the Great Founder
theory, who is driven by a simple question. Why have all prior
civilizations failed, and how can ours escape the same fate? Our
conversation focuses on the ways in which getting good data is
almost impossible. Civilizations rise, fall, and their skeletons
get scavenged to nourish what comes next. Floods sweep the
landscape clean of the best laid plans, and rising sea levels
bury the rest. We talk about the future of the academy, the
search for buried treasures, and informed searches for long-lost
cultures. Note - we had some technical difficulties at the end
here, and so the audio for the last 20 minutes is pretty choppy.
Apologies! We're working on making sure it doesn't happen again.

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.
