My guest this episode is entrepreneur, designer, engineer, educator, and executive Edward West.
This conversation is divided between two very different topics. First, a deep dive into a profound mystical experience Edward had as a young man, and then an exploration of how the insights from that experience have informed his work in creating culture and infrastructure.
We touch on
Fatherhood
The theme of Edwards work
A vision in a windowless garage
Ego vs Surrender
Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharshi
Infrastructure for a new kind of community
Living in Capital’s world
The possibility of Utopic AI, and Dystopic alternatives
And more!
