Andi: It's important people understand that it's overwhelming if you're not using a problem solving framework. And then let's recap just what these structures are so people are tracking each of these components. I mean, in the case te human sener uman technologyve brought so much attention to with regard to the er harvesting and directing economy,. i think its fair to say that it probably was not facebook or gogles goal to create the type of effects that they had. Those were unintended externalities. They were second order effects. But they were trying to solve problems, right? The side effect as we're ging to destroy democracy and open societies in the process.

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.
