In this episode, Benj delves firmly into the future as he chats with futurist and VR enthusiast Jesse Damiani, Editor-At-Large of VRScout, about the world of VR, AR, blockchain, and beyond &#8212; including the future of trust and the impact of having a permanent record of one&#8217;s actions, and more.  It&#8217;s simultaneously scary, exciting, and enlightening.  This interview took place November 2017.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p>Hi there, folks. Long time, no see.  I&#8217;ve been busy moving, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>Way back in November of last year, I did an interview with Jessse Damiani, whom I met during GDC 2017 at a Modal VR party in San Francisco (where I also finally met Nolan Bushnell in person).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m guilty of holding Jesse&#8217;s interview back &#8212; he was second after Wozniak &#8212; for the sake of hearing some famous voices.  But Jesse&#8217;s perspective is undeniably brilliant.  He is one of the most intelligent people I&#8217;ve ever met.<\/p>\n<p>So I think you&#8217;ll really enjoy this episode where we talk about the future.  Let me know what you think.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3257\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-338-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Episode-5-Jesse-Damiani.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Episode-5-Jesse-Damiani.mp3\">https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Episode-5-Jesse-Damiani.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Episode-5-Jesse-Damiani.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/?powerpress_pinw=338-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Episode-5-Jesse-Damiani.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Episode-5-Jesse-Damiani.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-culture-of-tech-with-benj-edwards\/id1318846289?mt=2&amp;ls=1#episodeGuid=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecultureoftech.com%2F%3Fp%3D338\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_itunes\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Apple Podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecultureoftech.com\/index.php\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=culture_of_tech\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a historian, Benj Edwards often writes about the past.
