In today’s episode we interview Dr Brennan Jacoby, founder of Philosophy at Work, who holds a Ph.D in philosophy and is specialized in the philosophy of trust.

Blockchain is argued to solve the human trust issue, or even scaling human trust. However is this really what blockchain is doing? What is the actual benefit of blockchain? And what is trust really, according to philosophy?

You’ll learn:

  • The definition of trust from a philosophy point of view
  • Why blockchain is argued to solve human trust
  • What the Dunbar’s number is and how this can help explain blockchain
  • The difference between removing the need for trust and solving trust
