The Merge: Ep. 03 | The past is not gone; it lives on in the future

In Episode 3 of The Merge, Dr. Nassim Nicholas Taleb challenges how we view identity, risk, and history. He explores how our past shapes our future, critiques modern systems, and urges a fresh look at the Levant as a living, interconnected cultural mosaic. The Merge is a production of the Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at AUB. The podcast was recorded at the studios of the Abdulla Al Ghurair Hub for Digital Teaching & Learning at MSFEA. Special thanks to our team Karen Kelaita, Rima Ghannoum, Christina Sleiman, Mariam Noureddine, Kassem Zaayter, and Dana Ghalayini for recording, editing, and production.
