Building a Better Civilization with Tech Pioneer Jordan Hall | Win-Win with Liv Boeree

If you ever downloaded online videos since the year 2000, this man is who you should thank! This week I’m speaking with technologist and philosopher Jordan Hall, a founder of numerous early-internet companies including video codec company DivX.

However, he is best known these days as a philosopher; I learned of him through his contributions to a community known as Game B, which seeks to understand how human civilization can transform itself into a more sustainable, anti-rivalrous, win-win dynamic.

Today’s conversation is a philosophical and technical dive into the anthropological drivers of competition, complexity, power structures, and the role of AI in shaping a more Game B future.
