Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

Melanie Mohr, Co-founder of PWR Labs, joins to talk about building a new kind of blockchain infrastructure—one that finally bridges Web2 and Web3. PWR Chain separates consensus from execution, enabling developers to build their own chains—called VIDAs—in any language: JavaScript, Python, C++, Rust, Move, Solidity. No VM restrictions, no validators required, and no gas tokens needed.
We dive into:
– How PWR Chain rethinks the Layer 1 / Layer 2 stack
– Why most blockchains failed to attract developers
– How DPoP (Delegated Proof of Power) secures the base layer
– What makes VIDAs different from L2s and appchains
– The potential for massive corporate adoption
PWR Chain isn’t just another L1. It’s a new model for scaling decentralized applications—built to handle the next 10 million developers.

Josh Bowen, CEO of Astria Labs breaks down how shared sequencing fixes this—eliminating blockchain silos and making rollups more secure and interoperable. Without shared infrastructure, modular blockchains just become fragmented networks. We explore the trade-offs in existing rollup solutions, why DA layers aren’t enough, and how Astria is reshaping the rollup landscape by removing single points of failure.
