I want to share something that I think will be helpful in the thinking about the wisdom intelligence relationship, which is not saying how we enact it.

On this episode, Daniel Schmachtenberger returns to discuss a surprisingly overlooked risk to our global systems and planetary stability: artificial intelligence. Through a systems perspective, Daniel and Nate piece together the biophysical history that has led humans to this point, heading towards (and beyond) numerous planetary boundaries and facing geopolitical risks all with existential consequences. How does artificial intelligence, not only add to these risks, but accelerate the entire dynamic of the metacrisis?

Does artificial intelligence have a role to play in creating a more stable system or will it be the tipping point that drives our current one out of control?
