Gonna try my own quick thread of World's Biggest Problems, 1 tweet each. (In the order I think of them mostly, not order of priority per se.)
1. Grokking Generators: Not enough people are seriously trying to answer the question of what key generators are leverage points for everything else. How do we free up the time for people who want to do this to do this, and point more entrepreneurs at it?
2. Deep Dialogue: I see something important. You see something important. They seem in conflict. How can we come to see how these can both be cared for together, in a positive-sum way? How can we listen to each other, without losing touch with ourselves?
3. Individual Integration: Most people are quite traumatized, by school, work etc. How do we scale tools & techniques for helping people be able to untangle their own personal conflicts, and develop self-trust & learner mindset? (Sort of the 1-person version of 2: Deep Dialogue)
4. Polarized Perspectives: In order to dialogue with each other, we need to be able to get a shared read on reality. That's becoming harder to do collectively as people fall into different reality bubble attractors. We need conspiracy antidotes—rainbow pills & blacklight pills.
...those feel like the main ones @NeilThanedar's missing. Most of those would, one way or another, fall under his #1: 1.Maximize Human Potential And they aren't quite separate; they synergize. Solving these meta-ones solves the others, in the limit. But in the meantime...
In the meantime, good to also have people working on the rest of Neil's list: 2.Optimize Science For Good 3.Optimize Government for Good 4.Scale Clean Energy Cheaply 5.Scale Quality Healthcare Cheaply 6.Scale Quality Education Cheaply 7.Scale Quality Information Cheaply 8…
(Neil's list continued) 8.End Poverty 9.Prevent Suicides 10.Defend Water Supply 11.Regulate Food Supply 12.Protect Individual Liberties 13.Counter Authoritarianism 14.Recruit Independents Into Politics 15.Promote Independent Businesses 16.Value Impact > Labor > Capital
