Modern science has given us the ability to edit our genes, life-saving vaccines, and glimpse the origins of the universe. But is the same system holding itself back? Critics argue that the pressure to publish and fierce competition for funding rewards safe, incremental work over bold thinking. Others see a system still capable of paradigm-shifting discoveries — one where global collaborations and long-term thinking motivate scientists to pursue grand, ambitious ideas. Now we debate: Is the Scientific Enterprise Too Risk-Averse?  This debate was produced in partnership with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, as part of The Hopkins Forum series.

What happens when an economist who predicted the 2008 financial crisis says Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme? In a recent interview, Australian economist Steve Keen made several strong claims about Bitcoin — arguing that it has no intrinsic value, wastes energy, is mainly used for criminals, and could even be heading to zero.But do these arguments actually hold up?In this episode, we break down Steve Keen's criticisms one by one and explore the bigger questions around Bitcoin, wealth, and investing. Along the way we discuss common misconceptions about Bitcoin, why many people still confuse Bitcoin with the wider crypto market, and what these debates reveal about the modern financial system.You'll learn why people keep calling Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme and whether that claim actually makes sense, the key differences between Bitcoin and the wider crypto market, how Bitcoin's energy use and mining relate to its value, and why critics often link Bitcoin to crime and the dark web.
