Description

Greg Kieser is on the show to explore a hypothetical future where society is led by Super Aware Intelligence Machines as a framework to talk about systems thinking, supersystemic thinking, idea ecologies, the two cognitive impediments that prevent humanity from solving the largest problems it faces, and where psychedelics are sewn into the mix. --LINKS-- For links to Greg's work, full show notes, and to watch this episode in video, head to https://bit.ly/ATTMind126 ***Full Topics Breakdown Below*** --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST — ► Patreon: https://patreon.com/jameswjesso ► Donations: https://www.paypal.me/JWJesso ► Merchandise: https://www.jameswjesso.com/shop/ ► More options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support/ This episode's Sponsor: https://www.jameswjesso.com/coffee Use promo code JESSO to get 10% off your order and give 5% to psychedelic research. ► Newsletter: https://www.jameswjesso.com/newsletter *** Extra BIG thanks to my patrons on Patreon for helping keep this podcast alive! Especially, Andreas D, Clea S, Joe A, Ian C, David WB, Yvette FC, Ann-Madeleine, Dima B, & Chuck W ************** Episode Breakdown Introducing the concept and themes of Dear Machine (a letter to a super aware intelligent machine in the future) Bringing a different quality of thinking to humanity's problems Systems thinking, supersystemic thinking, and idea ecosystems Comparing idea ecosystems to forests and the microbiome What ideas and ideologies best serve humanity's evolution? The problem-solving tools we are currently using are fundamentally incapable of solving the problems they propose to solve What perspectives and goals would a super aware intelligent machine will have for humanity? Why good ideas will grow and eventually outplace bad ideas, despite the tendencies for bad ideas (or ideologies) to spread more virally Regenerative agriculture as an example of how good ideas will eventually take over the bad ones Accounting for the limitations of human emotional immaturity Why psychedelics can help decrease irrational thinking Greg Kieser has optimism despite how disparaging the situation currently seems The two cognitive impediments that prevent humanity from solving our largest problems The illusory self and how it is baked into our social institution The interweaving of the self beyond the lifespan and into the natural world "We lack the brain capacity to acquire data, analyze it for actionable insights, then rank the value of the resulting knowledge." [source] Informational overload and the disintegration of objective reality The challenge of making decisions while trying to juggle all the knowledge we might have about that decision - analysis paralysis How to buy to apple Our governments are not prepared to solve our problems and are actually incentivized not to The value and the failures of democracy Psychedelics' place within humanities progression towards harmony Why psychedelics, themselves, will not actually help us better ourselves as a society What has he pandemic revealed about the validity of Greg's thesis in Dear Machine Comparing the pandemic to the occupy movement What are the first steps we can take to start developing supersystemic thinking ************** --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST — ► Patreon: https://patreon.com/jameswjesso ► Donations: https://www.paypal.me/JWJesso ► Merchandise: https://www.jameswjesso.com/shop/ ► More options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support/ This episode's Sponsor: https://www.jameswjesso.com/coffee Use promo code JESSO to get 10% off your order and give 5% to psychedelic research. ► Newsletter: https://www.jameswjesso.com/newsletter --- BOOKS — Decomposing The Shadow: https://www.jameswjesso.com/decomposing-the-shadow/ The True Light Of Darkness: https://www.jameswjesso.com/true-light-darkness/ --- LINKS — Website: https://www.jameswjesso.com/ Speaking Tour: https://www.jameswjesso.com/events/ Podcast: https://www.jameswjesso.com/podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jameswjesso Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/attmindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jameswjesso
