Metacrisis: "Whatever geography you look at, whatever discipline you look at, we are in a conflated, co-integrated, correlated crisis. So there's not anyone looking at any area at the moment that isn't seeing dramatic changes, radical changes happen."
– Michael Every

[Paul Buitink 🎙 @paulbuitink]

Had an interesting chat with Michael Every, strategist at Rabobank in Singapore who's often on Zerohedge, about the current meta-crisis. He expects a fragmented world, a return to mercantilism, continuing strength of the dollar and emerging market crises.

WHAT IF - there was a technology that allowed people in a room to ask completely anonymous questions, with no recourse to their reputation or job or status?

Humans are social primates -we REALLY care about social appearance, status and public perception. Our default mode when we see a novel event is to look to others -if they are agitated, then we become so, if they are unconcerned, then so are we. This was highlighted in the 'Smoke Under the Door' study where 90% of people failed to react/report smoke coming under a door in their room if two other (confederate) humans seemed unconcerned.

The upshot -in our modern lives, we end up using social sorting mechanisms to solve physical world problems. This is evidenced at the current COP28 in Dubai - where the REAL questions can't be stated aloud due to a social glass ceiling on what can be said. With an anonymous tech that removed this 'glass ceiling', what might some of the questions be at COP28? And how might this 'stretching the Overton window of what can be said' affect the accelerating human predicament?  This weeks Frankly is a thought experiment on this theme. (13 minutes):

8/ "I don't want to moralize you uselessly, so you just kind of feel bad on your way to bed while continuing to do the same shit.

You will have to change the feed of what's coming into your awareness where this comes into your awareness every day."

7/ On depression related to the metacrisis:

"The reason for the depression at all is because life is actually beautiful and sacred. And the depression is recognizing the destruction of the sacred."

"You can't let yourself not act because you don't know how, but you also can't act doing things that you know won't work, so you have to learn."

Crash course in 20th century economics in one slide:
- supply & demand and the rest are 'externalities'
- rational economic man
- endless economic growth.

2/ "Crisis is the most important word in city making. The word crisis is appropriate because these - climate, housing, inequality, public health and infrastructure cost crises - are just five of the crises that almost every city in the world."

"I can tell everything I really need to know about a city and its seriousness about sustainability by how you treat your density, your trees, and your cars."
