Gene Epstein of Soho Forum

Gene Epstein of the Soho Forum

Josh and I had an interesting conversation with Gene Epstein who hosts The Soho Forum, a monthly debate series held in Manhattan.  It features topics of special interest to libertarians, and aims to enhance social and professional ties within the NYC political community. 

Some of the topics we discuss include artificial intelligence and its effects on the service industry, autonomous vehicles and the need for truck and taxi drivers, and testing crypto theories.

We also dove into the discussion involving Facebook Coin and whether similar institutions can be trusted to not inflate their currency.     

About the Guests:
