@ggerrein For example, some scholar who is specialized in Nozick or Rawls form of economic justice would make for an interesting discussion I believe.
I don't even know what either of those things are, can you ELI5?
John Rawls wrote sort what is considered one of the most important works of political philosophy of the twentieth century called "A Theory of Justice." It starts out with this premise of "the veil of ignorance" and extrapolates out how society (and economies) should be structured. The idea of the veil of ignorance is that let's say you had no idea what place in society you may hold, how would you structure things that no matter which situation you were born into, it would be as fair as possible. It was a call for liberalism. Shortly thereafter, a colleague at Harvard wrote a refutation of this, his name was Robert Nozick. Some consider his book "Anarchy, State, and Utopia" the bible of libertarianism. He has a few famous thought experiments in there, and all of them are in my opinion quite brilliant (my favorite is the Wilt Chamberlain example). So the ideas that these guys are talking about were important at an intellectual level, but prior to crypto-currency, to really move the needle in one way or the other (towards Rawls or Nozick's vision of perfection), you would need nothing short of a violent revolution. Now there is this intersection between ivory tower ideas and reality, and you possess the platform to join these two into a meaningful dialogue.
