A Vision for a Post-Existential Risk Future
In this episode, Daniel Schmachtenberger shares his vision for a path towards a post-existential risk future. He emphasizes the importance of designing a new civilization that incorporates three key features: coherence, closed-loop systems, and comprehensive sense-making and choice-making. By prioritizing these features, we can create a society that is not oriented towards competition or incentives. This new civilization design aims to eliminate structural incentives that lead to rivalry and instead focuses on increasing inter-personal coherence to foster collective intelligence and creativity.
