Episode notes

If we did try to measure those second and third and end-thorder effects, the risk and complexity would be so much that we would just grind everything to a halt. The underlying issue is being able to separate us versus them and benefit us at the expense of others. We get class systems and everybody fucking each other even within the us. If you see how it all connects and then you tend to all of it, only then can you manage the power of exponential tech.

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
