A Worldview Built from Contrarians (U22 Talk)
(draft) Explaining the origins of my talk in 2020
In October 2022, I gave a keynote talk in Bucharest, Romania, at Unfinished 2022 (U22). You can watch the whole talk here, and see it in context in my Brain here.
This talk is the backstory of how I came up with the ideas that I expressed virtually at U20 in Trust Is the (Only) Way Forward.
Nuggetizing the talk yields:
The Itch The Contrarians Harrison Owen Hans Monderman Eleanor Ostrom John Taylor Gatto
Christopher Alexander Pattern Languages Contrarian inspirations Contrarians vs kooks? Defenseless vs undefended Awareness milestones Conclusions A policy platform How should we start? How did everything break? Why is solving things difficult?
