If you ever downloaded online videos since the year 2000, this man is who you should thank! This week I’m speaking with technologist and philosopher Jordan Hall, a founder of numerous early-internet companies including video codec company DivX.

However, he is best known these days as a philosopher; I learned of him through his contributions to a community known as Game B, which seeks to understand how human civilization can transform itself into a more sustainable, anti-rivalrous, win-win dynamic.

Today’s conversation is a philosophical and technical dive into the anthropological drivers of competition, complexity, power structures, and the role of AI in shaping a more Game B future.
