<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During this episode, Josh Kerbel of the <a href="https://ni-u.edu/wp/">National Intelligence University</a> discusses the need for anticipatory intelligence. He contrasts the relatively simple historical national environment with today’s complex world. Josh explains why the traditional mindset of containment, which The West deployed to counter the Soviet agenda during the Cold War, is inappropriate today. Traditional analysis tools and linear problem solving are likewise inadequate for understanding complex, emergent dynamics.</span></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">:</span></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/event/live-cognitive-crucible-podcast-recording/"> <strong>I</strong>PA Members Only Social and Live Podcast Recording</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/event/live-cognitive-crucible-podcast-recording/"> Phoenix Challenge Conference</a> (last week of April 2022)</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cognitive Crucible Podcast Episodes Mentioned</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-47"> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>#47 Yaneer Bar-Yam on Complex Systems and the War on Ideals</strong></span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><strong><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-14"> #14 BDJ on Threatcasting</a></strong></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><strong><a href= "https://information-professio
