Being in the World Podcast 058: Nicolas Berggruen
Комедия
Tao sits down with billionaire philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen, Chairman of the Berggruen Institute, on the eve of giving his institute's Prize for Philosophy and Culture to Peter Singer. The $1 million award is given annually to thinkers whose ideas have profoundly shaped human self-understanding and advancement in a rapidly changing world.
Tao asks some challenging political and philosophical questions, asking Nicolas if there should be billionaires in the world, notwithstanding the good they may be capable of doing, especially given how arbitrary and unjust allocation of wealth can be, and given Nicolas's own youthful flirtations with Marxism and his love of famously leftist philosophers like Jean Paul Sartre.

Great discussion!
Why don’t they just start with companies paying their workers more?? And making all their workers shareholders. Rather than just giving people money!? Perhaps people should stop looking for saviors…

respect, it will never enough. scientifically has proved that theory for the last who knows when. but philosophy might have ended the chaos. like what he said, play the game or the game plays who individual. Just think like everything else, philosophy as a tool.
