Spotlight — What Is Humane Technology?

<p>“The fundamental problem of humanity is that we have paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and God-like technology.” — E. O. Wilson.</p><p>More than ever, we need the wisdom to match the power of our God-like technology. Yet, technology is both eroding our ability to make sense of the world, and increasing the complexity of the issues we face. The gap between our sense-making ability and issue complexity is what we call the “wisdom gap." </p><p>How do we develop the wisdom we need to responsibly steward our God-like technology?</p><p>This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're introducing one way Center for Humane Technology is attempting to close the wisdom gap —through our new online course, <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/course"><i>Foundations of Humane Technology</i></a><i>.</i> In this bonus episode, Tristan Harris describes the wisdom gap we're attempting to close, and our Co-Founder and Executive Director Randima Fernando talks about the course itself.</p><p>Sign up for the free course: <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/course">https://www.humanetech.com/course</a><br /><br /><strong>RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES</strong><br /><br />A Problem Well-Stated Is Half-Solved with Daniel Schmachtenberger: <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/a-problem-well-stated-is-half-solved">https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/a-problem-well-stated-is-half-solved</a></p><p>A Conversation with Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen: <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/42-a-conversation-with-facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen">https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/42-a-conversation-with-facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen</a><br /><br />Here’s Our Plan And We Don’t Know with Tristan Harris, Aza Raskin, and Stephanie Lepp: <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/46-heres-our-plan-and-we-dont-know">https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/46-heres-our-plan-and-we-dont-know</a><br /><br /><i>Your Undivided Attention</i> is produced by the <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/">Center for Humane Technology<
