Summary: Chamath Palihapitiya is a venture capitalist, owner of the Golden State Warriors, former Facebook exec, and is extremely outspoken on the future of tech.

He sees Google's focus on huge projects with big potential social impact as the way forward, not least by getting Android OS in the hands of billions of customers worldwide. Plus, why Silicon Valley is the center of power in America and the government shutdown, like the government, is essentially irrelevant. Don't miss this spirited conversation!
