Dr. Matt Butcher, CEO of Fermyon, drops in for a discussion with RedMonk's Kelly Fitzpatrick on Web Assembly (WASM), philosophy, and Matt's intersecting interests in the humanities and technology. Topics covered include analytic vs. continental philosophy (and what Descartes has to do with them); Baudrillard on hyperreality; a TL;DR intro to Web Assembly; and how Kant figures into the chapter Matt would write for a book on WASM and Philosophy.
