Episode 11: This is the Legend of Godwin Chan

  • Summary

  • An episode 20+ years in the making. Scientist, venture capitalist, angel investor, podcaster. This is the Legend Of Godwin Chan. Godwin will also be a regular feature on the podcast and will co-host some episodes. Amos Vang and Godwin Chan have been friends for over 20 years: since kindergarten/Grade 1! Over these decades, the two friends have had thousands of fascinating conversations about metaphysical philosophy, epistemological philosophy, cultural philosophy, classical musical philosophy, quantum physics, string theory, T-symmetry and the theoretical reversal of time and entropy, evolutionary biology, peak oil, civilizational collapse, causality, T-symmetry, and many other topics. #philosophy #startup #culture #conversation #legend Join Amos Vang as he features Godwin’s career and adventures. The conversation gets REALLY good starting at about 57:00 onwards, and it exemplifies their off-camera, off-mic conversations. Such topics include (but are not limited to): - the limitations of the schooling system, - cultural humility and understanding of Western and non-Western cultures, - introversion vs. extroversion, - Western cultural philosophy vs Chinese cultural philosophy [i.e. Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, etc.] (and why Chinese culture tends to be a bit better at mediation than Western cultures), - Dunbar’s Number, - Free will vs predeterminism, predeterminism vs. predestination; why free will (arguably) does NOT exist, why predestination (arguably) also does NOT exist, and why predetermination (arguably) exists, - Meaning vs. no meaning, intrinsic meaning vs. the illusion of meaning, Kierkegaardian Existentialism, Camusian Absurdism, Schopenhauerian determinism, heat death of the universe, human extinction, and what that means for a human’s life.
