Episode notes

Etechnology forces us to re imagine our previous social systems within the context of personalized ai that can tune educational experiences. What if all government spending was on a block chain? And it has to be an uncorruptible ledger of some kind, where you actually see where all taxpayer money goes and how it is used. Let's take a i, with open data platform and science doesn't get cherry pick which data they include in pireviewed paper. Later, we will find out what issues are associated with this particular set of data then flag them for change. That's so powerful. It's like being able to say 'I'm not sure I want to go into politics'

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 edited version along with the unedited 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.
