32 - Superstructures with Daniel Schmachtenberger | Part 2

Daniel Schmachtenberger is a founding member of The Consilience Project, aimed at improving public sensemaking and dialogue. He is researching and propagating the idea of the Metacrisis, which outlines the totality of risk that we face as a species and planet.

The systems that compose our society generally seek to trend in two directions—toward dystopia and catastrophes. Is there a way we can avoid these fates? Daniel says yes, via the third attractor: creating a more antifragile world that takes advantage of our exponential technologies.

This is the second in a series of episodes with Daniel, in which we dive into coordination mechanisms that can address the Metacrisis.

Take the green pill anon.
