good episode. Surprised that in a discussion about encryption, digital property, and decentralization, Bitcoin wasn't mentioned. even if you don't "like" it, the way it was structured to protect the qualities above is truly revolutionary and needs to be learned from if we're going to build for the information age.
Also, the point about a nuclear attack being cheaper to build for than to defend against is interesting. a book called 'The Sovereign Individual' showes how the transition from the industrial to the info age, changes this equation to defense being cheaper than attack, and the consequences are deep and far reaching.
