More stuff about systems change! (complexity theory, phase shift, etc)

Being metacrisis aware and criticizing the whole "single cause area specialization" because many of the big problems are interweaving

I was not aware - thanks for this!

The utility still outweighs my non-existent privacy concerns but it's good to know

Daniel Schmachtenbeger! He is more EA than most of us. Freakin leagues above most other intellectuals I've encountered anywhere

John Vervaeke, talking about solutions to AI through distributed cognition or modern approaches to wisdom (as an extension of rationality)

Thanks for putting this on the map for me! I hadn't thought of it and now I feel pretty stoked. I imagine I'll for sure do this sometime in the coming years..

Cool article. This is exactly the type of stuff we need - but you're only scraping the surface. I /really/ recommend you look into the work of John Vervaeke. He's a cognitive scientist who is all about wisdom cultivation (among many other things). He talks about wisdom as being a type of meta-rationality in which you know when to apply rationality and avoid being caught in the biases of over rationalizing everything - he speaks for how rationality, emotions, and intuition all have their strengths and shortcoming, and how to have them work together so you can become the best possible agent.
