How do we support Sensemaking?
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"
