## How do we support [Sensemaking](../meta/sensemaking.md)?
|
||
|
||
How do we support the "making sense" of others ie. how do we share what we are doing?
|
||
|
||
Ans: See the diagram and discussion below. In short, We are creating a "base" sense-making layer that people can then reference (and, even in near term, can start saving Stephen time / become a useful resource for journalists)
|
||
|
||
### Our Approach to Sensemaking and Why It Matters
|
||
|
||
#todo/writing write this up in a coherent essay
|
||
|
||
- Crypto like climate change and vaccination in representing a breakdown / challenge to sensemaking
|
||
- Controversial and talks to underlying ideological positions
|
||
- Collective sense-making seems ever more important
|
||
- Getting harder for various reasons: growing complexity, decline in trust / authority
|
||
- Here we set out what we are trying to do that may be a bit different and we think offer real value
|
||
- Need the underlying web of concepts and theses
|
||
- AND a map of that space so as not to be overwhelmed
|
||
- AND connection of those concepts and theses to the day to day sensemaking in journalism, on twitter etc.
|
||
- Need to go down to basics, need to get into capital formation, econ 101. How does the stock market work?
|
||
- This is bad, but everything is bad - that’s what we need to deconstruct. Lumped into an ontological blob of nothingness. The danger of the nihilist position. Or the leftist position - everything in capitalism is bad.
|
||
- Epistemological (leading to moral) nihilism
|
||
- "Everything's a scam"
|
||
- "There’s nothing or there’s only power"
|
