Description
I’m excited for the second part of this episode with Tim Urban, the man that turned his blog into a global movement who is now bringing us a new framework through which to through complex societal issues. You’re possibly one of over 65 million people that watched Tim Urban’s legendary TedTalk, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.
We’re continuing this conversation where Tim introduces ideas from his book, What’s Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and this leads into the last part of this epic conversation unpacking the power games, why liberal games are a necessity and why the alternative to equal opportunity is possibly a disaster to steer clear from.
Check out Tim’s book, What’s Our Problem: https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Our-Problem-Self-Help-Societies-ebook/dp/B0BTJCTR58
QUOTES:
“The dictator and their little consortium have the power to do what they want, so they do and other people don't so they can't.”
“It's a very disempowering thing to teach kids that this country, because there is inequality, is inherently oppressive and I think it is just demotivating.”
“What concerns me about our current political environment is that we have so many hard problems ahead, big discussions we have to have as a species, and our society has to be able to have its wits about us. We have to have our wits about us going into this future where we're getting more godlike power and be wise about it because the stakes are going up.”
