Scott Dedels joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about his new book The Age of Time and why the mechanical clock, not the printing press, may be the deepest centralization in modern life. Recorded spontaneously at the Bitcoin Ireland Conference in Dublin, the conversation runs from 1657 and the invention of standardized minutes through time preference, the difficulty adjustment, and Bitcoin as a civilizational clock that bonds value and time into a single expression. Scott and Knut also get into consciousness as a consensus mechanism, the half second delay between reality and perception, why beauty is a symptom of a thriving civilization, and what long term thinking looks like under a Bitcoin standard.
