Filip Dousek is the Prague-based founder of a recently acquired AI-augmented analytics startup, a connoisseur of the "illusions that create our world," and the author of "Flock Without Birds," a book which actually seeded his startup idea… and took him more than a decade to write. The conversation focuses mostly on Filip's literary output and touches on: 05:26 – His multi-dimensional two-part novel, in which the protagonist, himself a data analyst, turns "big data" into a source of theological inquiry 12:20 – Truth, complex systems, and predictive utility 17:18 – Exploring rationality, consciousness, and subjectivity 20:16 – The importance of keeping different perspectives 23:52 – The perennial question of the existence (and the nature) of God 31:36 – Looking for God in data 38:00 – Cultural detour: “Pi” and other films by Darren Aronofsky 39:05 – Finding fractal patterns and similarities 40:32 – AI and the Gartner hype cycle 49:12 – Brief story of Filip’s start-up; its product and vision 53:28 – The book's structure and Filip's translation methodology 57:41 – Prague's literary milieu and building a network in the larger English-speaking world Links: Filip Dousek: www.dousek.com | Twitter: @fdousek KMO: en.padverb.com/kmo | Twitter: @Kayemmo Comments?
