Adam Thierer joins Libertarianism.org’s Building Tomorrow Podcast to discuss evasive entrepreneurialism and permissionless innovation.
Listen to the podcast
Tech companies are often accused of acting without first thinking
through all the ramifications of what they’re doing on the principle
that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Adam Thierer joins
the show to talk about a good habit, something he calls evasive
entrepreneurialism. If innovators always waited for regulatory approval
first, it would delay consumer access to transformative and even
life-saving tech. Permissionless innovation in the relatively
regulatory-free internet sandbox of the 1990s-2000s is what drove a
great deal of tech innovation and wealth creation in Silicon Valley; the
same could be true for other tech sectors in the future. Paul and Will
also play a lightening round of “Overrated / Underrated” with Adam
revealing a surprising love for malted beverages and the barter system.
Who
are evasive entrepreneurs? Are there too many barriers to entry in the
technology field? How does tech enable civil disobedience? What tech is
‘born free’? What is a regulatory risk? What is the pacing problem with
technology? What is the precautionary principle? Should you
intentionally diversify your twitter feed?
