"Mixed Mental Arts" Episode #318: Andrew Keen ("How To Fix The Future")

This is a great interview. Lots of good ideas. I'm not so sure about the idea of trusting the cutthroat mega wealthy corporate interests or corrupt government officials to save us from ourselves though (regulation)(the glorious bezos).
Certain points like the idea that YouTube has a responsibility decide what should be played on their platform but that that is somehow not censorship are clearly a little off.
Also the idea that the mainstream media is honest and never provides fake news has been shown to be quite false.
The idea of blockchain technology providing transparency is nice but only if that goes both ways. If the"plebs" cannot watch the powerful back then that is just an even more terrible surveillance state.
Anyone interested in a truly decentralized internet platform that allows users to host/own their own data should check out Holochain. It is truly revolutionary. Here is a great interview with one of the developers.
