Daniel Schmachtenberger is Profound

[Carbon]

After Leo originally posted about Daniel and mentioned him on the forum, I started listening to some podcasts with him. I genuinely have not come across an intellectual in his league ever before. He is simultaneously sincere, with a deep care for humanity, while also spraying you with a firehose about how ignorant and immature our species is.

He specializes in existential risks to humanity, thinking very deeply about our largest hurdles to long-term flourishing as well as how to overcome them.

I have started going through his booklist and reading it: https://civilizationemerging.com/resources/books/

If your life purpose involves large-scale improvements to human systems, you are missing out on true value by not checking out him, his booklist, and his work.

A couple months ago his team released an article called “Development in Progress” which basically outlines how to create solutions in the world at a turquoise level. You can read it here: https://consilienceproject.org/development-in-progress/

 I am going to be reading the books and applying his methods to my current start-up and any projects I do in the future.
