The inflection point is if we are able to continue to grow that has a bigger environmental impacts, more material, energy use, CO2, and other things. This episode will really be much more useful for people who have watched the previous four. I would encourage that number one, we largely unpack a core of Nate's work regarding the relationship between energy, the environment, the materials economy and finance. Number two and number four are unpacking additional frames for what we call the meta crisis. How do we hold being aware of all the possible catastrophic risks and having any sense of human agency?
Show Summary:
On this 5th and final installment of the Bend Not Break series with Daniel Schmachtenberger, we unpack the framework and mindset needed to begin thinking about responses. This conversation touches on what it means to work on personal development in the light of a polycrisis, and how it is truly a never ending but necessary challenge. Finally, Daniel and Nate break down a 3x3 grid on time frame and category of responses.
Whilst this is the end of this series, there is, of course, much left to be unpacked. If there are any specific topics you want covered in a follow up Daniel/Nate conversation, we encourage you to leave your questions in the comments of the Youtube video, which can be found here -> https://youtu.be/Kep8Fi_rUUI
