Daniel Schmachtenberger is a brilliant thinker and one of the smartest guys I know. I was introduced to him a few years ago and we spent some time together at a castle in France back in 2018 at an unconference that was focused on blockchain and futurism.
The Consilience Project is a non-profit, five-year initiative dedicated to creating and supporting a cultural movement around transpartisan media and collective inquiry in the public sphere. We are a network of organizations and individuals who perceive an imminent social crisis within democracies and are seeking a rapid evolution of public culture in response.
This is an important project to follow and Daniel’s content is a good primer on the basics of sensemaking. His blog post, Solving the Generator Functions of Existential Risk is a helpful frame for the topic of civilization design.
