Ed Latimore: Professional Heavyweight Boxer, Army National Guard Veteran, Physics Graduate & Writer | Efficiency Is a False God | #134

Ed Latimore is a professional heavyweight boxer, Army National Guard veteran, physics graduate and writer. In this conversation, we explore AI, learning, identity, fatherhood and why “efficiency is a false god.”

We also discuss chess, dyslexia, creativity, sobriety, digital life, personal constraints and how difficult experiences can become unexpected advantages.

If this one's got you thinking about what chapter you're in right now, I built something for exactly that.
