Keller is on of the all-time great computer architects who has
shaped the tech revolution during his tenure at Digital Equipment
Corporation, AMD, Tesla, Intel, AMD and Apple. In addition to
being a crack engineer, Keller is also deeply curious about the
inner workings of nature on all scales, and is the patron for our
upcoming Beyond the Big Bang meeting in Portugal. Keller is a big
proponent of what philosopher Paul Feyerabend called “scientific
anarchy,” where progress requires us to abandon a prescriptive
approach to what counts as “science,” because many contradictory
theories can be “true” at once. We build on our previous
conversation about the nature of institutions to unpack why the
Big Bang is about to fall apart, what it takes to build a new
theory, and how to create a lasting impact without striving
explicitly for immortality. (00:00) Go! (00:04:07) Skepticism 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. SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub-
