Neurohacking an emergent system

Listen to this 3-part podcast entitled "Solving the generator problems of existence" with Daniel Schmachtenberger, co-founder of the Neurohacker Collective and founder of Emergence Project. A few brief excerpts from the blurb follow. See the link to listen if you feel it's to your taste and passes the smell test. Had to get all the senses in there. Thanks to Wayne B. Lewis for pointing me to it.

"In order to avoid extinction, we have to come up with different systems altogether, and replace rivalry with anti-rivalry. One of the ways to do that is moving from ownership of goods towards access to shared common resources. [...] He also proposes a new system of governance which would allow groups of people that have different goals and values to come to decisions together on various issues. [...He] argues that it is not the most competitive ecosystem that makes it through, but the most self-stabilizing one."

"The biosphere is a complex self-regulating system. It is also a closed-loop system, meaning that once a component stops serving its function, it gets recycled and reincorporated back into the system. In contrast, the systems humans have created are complicated, open loop systems. They are neither self-organizing nor self-repairing. Complex systems, which come from evolution, are anti-fragile. Complicated systems, designed by humans, are fragile. Complicated open-loop systems are the second generator function of existential risks."
