The Cathedral - Bitcoin Time Preference Applied To Land - David Bennett - #618

Forrest is my mentor.

And the beasts that you had, what was that one? That was...

Forrest Walker.

Forrest Walker, exactly.

Yeah.

With the kind of AI, robotic, agentic, Boston dynamic style...

I know cow things that amazing idea and future futuristic scientific stuff.

And I, you know, yeah, I love, I love reading all that kind of stuff.

So if nobody's listened to that, go back and listen to David's last two.

But this one we're going to be talking about cathedral, which is another thought process that you're going through.

And you've been sharing that on your own podcast.

And I think you've dropped five or six of those episodes.

It's going to be five, and I've been trying to get a good outline together for the sixth one, but the sixth one, we'll talk about it today.

The sixth one is sort of the beating heart of the whole thing, and it just makes it It makes it supremely difficult to execute that one because it's not all that difficult of a concept when I'm talking to people about it, but if I'm trying to get an outline together for a show, it's one of those things where I just really don't want to mess it up, so I'm still plugging away at how do I present this particular part of this larger process.

Cause that's the thing about cathedral is that it's a conglomeration of a whole bunch of different things that I've, figuring out how to fit together.

And again, we can go, we'll end up going through a lot of that.

So now

Lauren, like your first question, I'm sure you're thinking, you're probably thinking in your mind, a cathedral, like what the hell is Dave talking about a cathedral for when you know he's into like biodiversity and regenerative farming and things like that.

So what's in your mind when you think of a cathedral?

Well, obviously the Canterbury Cathedral, but I had Daddy explain it to me a little bit and I just found it really interesting and I would love just to hear what, well, I know that's what the entire podcast is, but I would just love to sit back and hear your thoughts and what it is.

So how do you explain Cathedral, this little project that's kind of fighting its way out of your brain to a 15-year-old?

I guess let's go back and try to answer the question of why did I call it cathedral? The best way that I can put this is to go back and find the roots of amazingly, even though this is more about biology and agriculture, the roots still go back to Bitcoin.

It still goes back to being able to think about things in a completely different way from a completely different standpoint.

And a lot of the times we get, I don't want to say bogged down, but we do as Bitcoiners have a tendency to talk about fiat architecture, fiat food, fiat fiat, fiat cars, fiat cars.

financial institutions where everything that has meaning has been stripped away and just all you see is the best way that i can put it is that when i think of the word fiat i think of an abandoned strip mall in des moines iowa or something like that with weeds coming up through The cracks in the paved parking lot, empty stores, it's all falling down because it was built fast.
