<p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string">On this episode we meet with founding member of The Consilience Project, Daniel Schmachtenberger. In the first of a three-part series, Nate and Daniel outline the macro risks and pathways for civilization to 'bend' and avoid 'breaking' in coming decades. In the Part 1 conversation, Schmachtenberger flips the script to interview Nate about the urgent problems his research and work on energy, money, and growth confront. Nate explains how we can come to understand energy blindness and the overlooked role of oil in consumption, production, and progress since the Industrial Revolution. The dominant narrative of human progress prioritizes capital and labor — but the omission of energy and materials leaves out a key component to understanding how the modern human ecosystem functions. Further, Nate discusses how a growth economy will inevitably lead to increased energy production and consumption, and how new energy technologies like renewables end up creating more energy output, not less. Putting everything together, in outsourcing our decisions and planning to a market dependent on growth, we have not so metaphorically become an energy hungry superorganism. Finally, Daniel and Nate look forward to answering: What are ways for us to prepare for a post-growth economy? How can we stay balanced in the face of existential crises? What type of policy can help shape a future that is yet to arrive, and how can we get ahead?

Cognitive scientist Don Hoffman takes us deep into his research suggesting we're attacking the problem backwards. The implications may challenge all you know about our place in reality. Take the Red Pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes...<br /> <br /> In this extended interview we dive into the Interface Theory of Perception (how evolution hides the truth about reality in favor of a dumbed down user interface that only shows us "fitness" payoffs that help us survive), the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" and how we simply have no idea how consciousness could emerge from physical matter, the theory of Conscious Realism (how reality is really a social network of conscious "agents" and our perceptions are simply the interface by which we exchange experience with other agents), the math behind conscious agent theory, implications for artificial intelligence (AI), psychedelics, spirituality, and much much more.<br /> <br /> Links to their prior conversation, more info on Conscious Realism and Prof. Hoffman's work, and full written transcript at </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" style="display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;font-family:Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#f9f9f9;" href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=UN5uDEvZQxKURpliJBqJSEKx0kB8MTU3NDk3NjgwOEAxNTc0ODkwNDA4&v=dd6CQCbk2ro&q=http%3A%2F%2Fzdoggmd.com%2Fincident-report-266&event=video_description" target="_blank">http://zdoggmd.com/incident-report-266</a><span style="color:#0d0d0d;font-family:Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#f9f9f9;display:inline;float:none;"><br /> Audio podcast links are here: </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" style="display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;font-family:Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#f9f9f9;" href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=UN5uDEvZQxKURpliJBqJSEKx0kB8MTU3NDk3NjgwOEAxNTc0ODkwNDA4&v=dd6CQCbk2ro&q=https%3A%2F%2Fzdoggmd.com%2Fpodcasting%2Fconscious-agents%2F&event=video_description" target="_blank">https://zdoggmd.com/podcasting/consci...</a></p></div>Exclusive: Edward Snowden's full interview with France24https://sleeplessdystopian.com/videos/exclusive-edward-snowden-s-full-interview-with-france242019-09-19T22:27:15.000Z2019-09-19T22:27:15.000Zi am Sam i amhttps://sleeplessdystopian.com/members/mentalistpoet<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10072638683?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Subscribe to France 24 now: <a href="http://f24.my/youtubeEN">http://f24.my/youtubeEN</a> FRANCE 24 brings you an exclusive report on the hunt for Edward Snowden, who became one of the world’s mo...</p></div>The War on Sensemaking, Daniel Schmachtenbergerhttps://sleeplessdystopian.com/videos/the-war-on-sensemaking-daniel-schmachtenberger2019-08-29T22:40:01.000Z2019-08-29T22:40:01.000Zi am Sam i amhttps://sleeplessdystopian.com/members/mentalistpoet<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10072640081?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>What can we trust? Why is the 'information ecology' so damaged, and what would it take to make it healthy? This is a fundamental question, because without good sensemaking, we cannot even begin to act in the world.</p>
<p>It is also a central concern in what many are calling the "meaning crisis", because what is meaningful is connected to what is real. Daniel Schmachtenberger is an evolutionary philosopher - his central interest is civilization design: developing new capacities for sense-making and choice-making, individually and collectively, to support conscious sustainable evolution.</p>
