Summary

We’ve explored many different problems on Your Undivided Attention — addiction, disinformation, polarization, climate change, and more. But what if many of these problems are actually symptoms of the same meta-problem, or meta-crisis? And what if a key leverage point for intervening in this meta-crisis is improving our collective capacity to problem-solve? 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 Consilience Project, aimed at facilitating new forms of collective intelligence and governance to strengthen open societies. He's also a friend and mentor of Tristan Harris.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, it's Tristan and this is your Undivided Attention. Up next we have our
0:06.5	unedited conversation with Daniel Schmachtinberger and because it's unedited
0:10.6	it's longer and not corrected for fact-checking purposes but you can find our
0:14.7	shorter edited version wherever you found this one. Listen to both versions and
0:19.0	then come to our podcast club with Daniel and me and hopefully you on July
0:23.5	9th. Details are in the show notes and with that here we go.
0:31.3	Welcome to your undivided attention. Today I am so honored and happy to have my
0:36.9	friend Daniel Schmachtinberger as our guest who works on the topics of

0:45.9	problems or many of the major problems that are really facing us today as a
0:49.6	civilization. Be it climate change, break down of truth, social media, or
0:53.1	information systems, those of you who've been following your undivided
0:57.2	attention will hear this as a very different kind of episode. We almost
1:00.7	think of it as a meta episode about the underlying drivers of many of the
1:06.5	topics that we have covered on your undivided attention thus far. So if you think
1:11.9	about the topics that we've covered, whether you've seen the social dilemma or
1:14.9	you followed our interviews previously on topics like attention span,
1:19.4	shortening or addiction or information overwhelm and distraction, the fall of
1:24.6	trust in society, more polarization, break down of truth or inability to solve
1:28.7	problems like climate change, well this is really about an interconnected set of
1:34.2	problems and the kind of core generator functions that are leading to all of
1:38.5	these things to happen at once. And so I really encourage you to listen to this
