Episode notes

It's a tautology is when you get lots of input that. But the thing is, they don't have to be true. They just have to convince each other that they're true and internally consistent. You can begin to ogenerate ideas that become consistent within a particular set of ideas but if you get into a different set of ideas, those ideas aren't consistent at all. In the midst of systems change, in the midst of all these processes coming unwound, this is the kind of stuff we must look at.

We invited Nora Bateson back on the show for another sensemaking conversation. Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, educator, and the President of the International Bateson Institute.

We wanted to hear her views on the current disintegration of societal systems, and how to navigate the chaos of the world.

We talk about how to raise and educate children for the uncertain future, and how to find the potential for healing and transformation in these difficult times. She also shares some thought provoking quotes from her father Gregory Bateson’s writings.
