Episode notes

We're now talking about how do you do an open society, social system, but in a world with all the new technologies that are not just here to day, but are merging. I think what tianas been doing, and what e othrtang in the digital ministry on particular, has been leading is probably the best example of this kind of process in thinking. And does it apply in or could it apply in the exact same way to the us? No, of course not. But i'm sure people wild like to feel less anxiety bout those things hanging around for longer.

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.
