​​Host André Marquet speaks with Justas Petrónis. Justas is the lead product manager at TransferGo. Justas holds a degree in Analytic Philosophy and studied at the University of Leuven and Vytautas Magnus University. He also regularly lectures about Marketing and Epistemology. He used to teach Philosophy of Mind & Theory of Artificial Intelligence at the Kaunas University of Technology. Additionally, Justas calls himself a walkability and public transit advocate. In this podcast, we reason why every product manager needs to be a philosopher, the mantra of building things that don’t scale, and building certainty in the complete environment of uncertainty. And why the best way to reduce traffic jams by 30% is to fix public schools. Because optimizing for efficiency you will be in a situation where you leave people behind.Timestamps:📚Book recommendations:[1] “Energy and civilization history”, by Vaclav Smil - https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/energy-and-civilization[2]The fifth risk” by Michael Lewis - https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Fifth-Risk-Michael-Lewis/9780393357455[3] “Short history of Russia” by Mark Galeotti https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1119330/a-short-history-of-russia/9781529106381.html[4] Clash of Civilizations by Samuel P.
