Pair Vision With Pragmatic Implementation
- Combine ideal forward designs with pragmatic, incremental reforms that current institutions can accept.
- Use both top-down visioning and bottom-up enactment to avoid violent or utopian imposition.
The Carbon Pulse Fueled Modernity
- The fossil-fuel-driven 'carbon pulse' enabled modern democracy and growth but is unsustainable.
- Current prosperity largely borrows energy and capacity from the future and nonrenewable sources.
Closed-Loop Materials Are Nonnegotiable
- Closing atomic material loops and powering them with sustainable energy is essential for a durable materials economy.
- Renewables must enable closed-loop manufacturing without biodiversity collapse.

Daniel Schmachtenberger, founding member of The Consilience Project and Director of R&D at Neurohacker Collective, is here with us today to shed light on the need for collective intelligence with which to navigate towards beneficial outcomes.
We discuss:
- The most important problems in the world today,
- How technology and social media are undermining sense-making,
- Why we need to reinvent democracy, and
- How to maintain existential hope in an environment of crisis.
If we're serious both as individuals and as humanity about improving the world, it's vital that we intersect around the reality of our situation and the radical solutions needed to create meaningful change. This is Daniel’s take on the situation.
