What is blockchain?
Was it old or is it new?
Why it is said blockchain is a revolution in cognition? How it would change people’s way of thinking and interaction?
Why it is said blockchain, different from many other historically applauded changes, will transform productive relations and bring more thorough changes to social and world orders?
What implications blockchain technology would have on the value system?
How about information asymmetry? How about central banks? Are they temporary historical existence?
How about each individual? Your personal autonomy? Your ownership of you? Your own sovereignty?
And more…
Have you ever been puzzled by these questions? Or have you ever even thought of these questions?
Maybe you think they are far away from you, but if you ever have the curiosity to think more, question more and learn more, join us on this Sunday afternoon from 14:30 to 16:30 in 北京市朝阳区建国路乙108号, 梵悦108 Our smart but humble, experienced and seasoned but always ready to learn alumnus, Jeffrey Wernick, would share with us his understanding, ideas and insights about this changing world under the impact of blockchain, from transdisciplinary including economic, historical, philosophical, cognitive and behavioral perspectives. Certainly no answers will be given, though you will hopefully return with some deeper thoughts and inspirations.
