Alex Washburne has undergraduate degrees in biology and applied mathematics from University of New Mexico and a PhD from a Princeton University studying competition in ecological, epidemiological, and economic systems.

In this interview we explored:

Covid-19 policy monism in a world of plurality

How decentralisation and competition can create better solutions

The strangling of new ideas by powerful incumbents

The desire to kill anything that is 'not the same' as you

The intolerance of some scientific fields

Predictions of endemicity and profitable stocks
