Episode 5: Jesse Damiani and The Future of Trust

As a historian, Benj Edwards often writes about the past. In this episode, Benj delves firmly into the future as he chats with futurist and VR enthusiast Jesse Damiani, Editor-At-Large of VRScout, about the world of VR, AR, blockchain, and beyond — including the future of trust and the impact of having a permanent record of one’s actions, and more. It’s simultaneously scary, exciting, and enlightening. This interview took place November 2017.

Hi there, folks. Long time, no see. I’ve been busy moving, among other things.

Way back in November of last year, I did an interview with Jessse Damiani, whom I met during GDC 2017 at a Modal VR party in San Francisco (where I also finally met Nolan Bushnell in person).

I’m guilty of holding Jesse’s interview back — he was second after Wozniak — for the sake of hearing some famous voices. But Jesse’s perspective is undeniably brilliant. He is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met.

So I think you’ll really enjoy this episode where we talk about the future. Let me know what you think.
