23/ This was a lot. So feel free to AMA. Thanks for tuning in, sending all my love and best wishes to you.

22/ Here is the full presentation if you're interested. We'll be doing the second discussion of the Big Picture Mind @integrallife soon. And thank you to @CoreyWdeVos for helping with the video breakdown. https://t.co/62MZ6zfHuI

21/ Here's a link to an interactive version of the diagram. https://t.co/SSUJBQ2QMI

20/ For example, our think tank @iametatheory thinks about reality as an evolutionary stack. Here is a diagram of how of how we apply Big Pictures to evolutionary acupuncture points with specific social impact initiatives.

19/ You Are the Transformative Force Humans are the only force capable of meeting the Transformation Age on its own terms. You are that important. Cliche, but literally true. The more seriously you take your profound importance, the more meaningful and impactful life becomes.

18/ Thriving in the Transformation Age: Building a Sustainable Commons What can you do? Social-systemically: In a globally-networked world with massive individual diversity, the only way to preserve individual liberty amidst differing political values, but also solve for

17/ Thriving in the Transformation Age: Transformative Behavior What can you do? Behaviorally: you either reproduce or transform the world with every choice, every word, every decision you make. "Be the change" is cliche, but it's also deeply true, because a system that is

16/ Thriving in the Transformation Age: Ethical Commitment to Serve What can you do? Culturally and relationally: Commit to cosmic integrity, a far-reaching integrity founded in service to growing up, waking up, cleaning up and showing up so as to help others do the same.

15/ Here's how. Thriving in the Transformation Age: Build a Big Picture Mind What can you do? Psychologically: Start to build a bigger mind, one that gets free of the prison and partiality of narrower ideologies and gives you more freedom and self-reflexive autonomy. This is the

14/ We need better elites. This seems overwhelming because there's no way for most people to meet it with their current worldview and cognitive frames. But you can change that. There is a way to not only meet the era, but become big enough to lead others through it. You are

13/ Five tsunamis = One Metacrisis. These five forces combine to describe a global, deep, interpenetrating "Metacrisis" that is profoundly impacting all aspects of human life. This will continue. These five forces— 1. Ecological Anthropocene 2. Cultural-sensemaking Hyperreality

12/ The fifth tsunami is geopolitical: the US carries the world with it as it spirals into a "Great Release", a breakdown of an 80-year long geopolitical order. Since 1945 the US has led an internationalist liberal global order. But as elites have abused US global hegemony to

11/ The fourth tsunami is technoeconomic: we approach a technological Singularity. AI, quantum computing and other exponential technologies present extraordinary opportunities and the possibility of radical enhancements to human life. But they also present a profound risk of

10/ The third tsunami is psychological: we are in a Meaning Crisis, a deeply-felt sense of spiritual vacuity because we don’t know who we are and why. Amidst a chaotic backdrop of adults who themselves seem totally confused—because they are—young people are faced with a choice

9/ The second tsunami is cultural: the rise of Hyperreality has shattered our individual and collective sensemaking. Hyperreality is a world where reality is obscured, and language and imagery create simulated faux-realities. The map is literally the territory in a world

8/ Five historic, paradigm-changing tsunamis are washing over us and all coming into phase right now. The first tsunami is ecological, with the onset of the Anthropocene. Climate change and other ecological calamities get stronger as the Holocene of the last 12,000 years ended

7/ So what does a BPM see today? The rise of a new Transformation Age. As I said, the world evolves. So does society. The Information Age ended in 2007 (in my view). We have entered what sociologists call a “Morphogenic Society”, a radically new civilizational mode where change

6/ Find Big Picture Minds and follow them. If you’re listening to people who are trying to see a world that is way more complex than the narrow worldview they use to explain it, you’re cooked. Following people w BPMs is one of the most critical things you can do to put a rocket

5/ Almost everything you know comes from only one (of three) levels of knowledge. In addition to late-stage cognition, we also see knowledge emerge in stages of complexity, with more abstract knowledge emerging from and reorganizing prior knowledge. There are three main levels

4/ The world evolves into greater complexity, and right now most everyone is drowning in a "complexity gap". The world evolves through emergent structures in human social and cultural systems that both drive, and are driven by, growing levels of human consciousness. Right now
