Bitcoin vs Central Planning: Nassim Taleb's "Antifragile" Part 3 w/ Mike Kelly

Michael Kelly returns for Part 3 of our deep dive into Nassim Taleb’s “Antifragile.” We explore how collaboration creates nonlinear upside, why decentralized planning outperforms top-down control, and how creative destruction drives innovation over time. We discuss Taleb’s views on risk, volatility, and Bitcoin, consider why ethics and transformation require skin in the game, and observe how time is the ultimate judge.
Michael J Kelly III, is a producer and creative strategist with a passion for natural science and the intersection of politics and biology.
