Description
In this Frankly, Nate refers to a favorite timeless book series, “The Lord of the Rings”, to describe ‘the nine rings for mortal men’ - evolutionary behavioral tendencies that are common among humans but become counterproductive within the context of our modern culture. These traits combine to drive the growth of the Superorganism - but they are pulled forward by the ‘one ring to rule them all’, which today is the positive feedbacks of power resulting from the synergy of agricultural surplus, fossil energy, money, and now Artificial Intelligence accelerating it all. Can this out of control power dynamic be broken and redirected away from the influence of this “One Ring”? How do we strategize and prepare for the future given this cultural compulsion to amass power as we approach the Great Simplification? Can ‘wisdom’ counter 'intelligence'?
