Part 3/14:
The Tech-Technological Mind: Society and Innovation Collide
A critical theme Bob explores is the role of technologists as societal architects. He admires figures like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk but elevates Satoshi Nakamoto as perhaps the ultimate technologist, given the intricate design and social implications encoded within Bitcoin. For Bob, these pioneers aren’t just engineers but visionaries who propel society into new eras.
He suggests that understanding the societal impact of technology requires a blend of science, engineering, and social insight — highlighting that the most transformative innovators are those who see beyond the hardware and code to the broader human context.
