[Unedited] A Problem Well-Stated is Half-Solved
Monther
Description
<p>We’ve explored many different problems on <i>Your Undivided Attention</i> — addiction, disinformation, polarization, climate change, and more. But what if many of these problems are actually symptoms of the same meta-problem, or <i>meta-crisis</i>? And what if a key leverage point for intervening in this meta-crisis is improving our collective capacity to problem-solve?</p><p>Our guest Daniel Schmachtenberger guides us through his vision for a new form of global coordination to help us address our global existential challenges. Daniel is a founding member of the <a href="http://consilienceproject.org/">Consilience Project</a>, aimed at facilitating new forms of collective intelligence and governance to strengthen open societies. He's also a friend and mentor of Tristan Harris. </p><p>This insight-packed episode introduces key frames we look forward to using in future episodes. For this reason, we highly encourage you to listen to this unedited version <i>along with</i> the <a href="https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/a-problem-well-stated-is-half-solved">edited version</a>. </p><p>We also invite you to join Daniel and Tristan at our Podcast Club!
