Key Ideas

Avoiding/Addressing Existential and Catastrophic Risks

• [[ The Metacrisis ]] -> Podcast - Green Pill with Daniel Schmachtenberger
  • Useful to look at all our current biggest issues in a holistic way
    • trying to solve one problem might make the other ones worse
    • we can find the common “generator functions” (root causes) of our crises and try to solve for those
      • coordination failures - multipolar traps
      • perverse incentives
• Technology Is Not Values Neutral
• Collective sense-making and choice-making
  • epistemic humility
  • [[ Information Commons ]]
• both-and -positive sum- thinking
  • Think about the people your message doesn’t appeal to, how can you include them and their blowback?
• [[ addiction is a signal of a less healthy and sovereign society ]]
  • Compersion may be the feature of individuals of a healthy society

Living

• living a Meaningful Life
  • being
  • doing
  • becoming
• Sovereignty
• [[ dealing with the hopelessness of our complex situation ]]
• [[ emotions remind us of whats important to us ]]
• post tragic personal dialectic both-and -positive sum- thinking
  • if you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention
  • if you’re not overwhelmed by the beauty of life you’re not paying attention
    • the outrage comes from the care for the beauty and wanting to preserve it
    • if I’m always outraged I’m not connected to the beauty and unable to honor it
    • how can we be with the beauty of life while working to try to preserve this beauty for future generations?
