Episode notes

Einstein wrote a letter to the us. Government saying, now the science really does say that this thing could happen, and the germans could get it,. And at first they did k him up on it. Wasn't untill the private sector, actually, non profit support, advanced it further than the manhattan project was engaged in. The biggest jump in technology ever in the history of the world, in record history as we know it. It wasn't actually done by the market, right? It was done by the state. A very important thing, this idea that markets innevate and states don't inovate is just historically not true.

We’ve explored many different problems on Your Undivided Attention — addiction, disinformation, polarization, climate change, and more. But what if many of these problems are actually symptoms of the same meta-problem, or meta-crisis? And what if a key leverage point for intervening in this meta-crisis is improving our collective capacity to problem-solve?

Our guest Daniel Schmachtenberger guides us through his vision for a new form of global coordination to help us address our global existential challenges. Daniel is a founding member of the Consilience Project, aimed at facilitating new forms of collective intelligence and governance to strengthen open societies. He's also a friend and mentor of Tristan Harris.

This insight-packed episode introduces key frames we look forward to using in future episodes. For this reason, we highly encourage you to listen to this unedited version along with the edited version.

We also invite you to join Daniel and Tristan at our Podcast Club! It will be on Friday, July 9th from 2-3:30pm PDT / 5-6:30pm EDT. Check here for details.
