The Great Weirding and Perma Weird

The podcast episode explores the concept of the Great Weirding, which refers to the unsettling disruptions and unsettling of mental models between 2015 and 2020. It highlights how the internet and global connectivity have contributed to the collective subjective response to these disruptions. The term Perma Weird is introduced as the state of adaptation to the continued weirdness of the world. The discussion touches on the subjective and collective response to weirding, the distinction between crisis and weirdness, and the need to adapt our responses to this new reality.
