Daniel Schmachtenberger, founder of The Consilience Project, gave this profoundly vast, nuanced and knowledgable synthesis of why the world is in crisis a few weeks ago in Stockholm. This is the big picture, told with moving humanity.
The accompanying image is The Waterworks of Money, the latest work by cartographer Carlijn Kingma, in collaboration with financial economists Thomas Bollen and Martijn van der Linden.
WE WILL BEAR WITNESS to this moment in history. This media project features stories from earth's citizens, recording climate destruction, devastation, resilience and hope. Tell your story.
Daniel's talk was really good, so were the talks from Kate, Olivia and Nate.
Can't help feeling that the audience probably didn't know what was going on, the host certainly lives in a different world to the 99.9%
I find it almost unbearable to listen to an interview like this. Although Daniel Schmachtenberger is very eloquent and seems to have understood the challenges facing humanity, there is no sense of purpose in his narrative. He does not offer any solutions and there is no call to action in his statements. I guess this is the difference between a philosopher and a leader. An effective narrative should always end with a message of hope or – at least – a call to action. We need a plan to get out of this mess and revolutions need to be organized.
