==The Consilience Project publishes novel research at the leading edges of global risk mitigation, governance design and culture. Our content explores the key challenges and existential threats facing humanity, and the underlying problems with current approaches for addressing them. We outline how our social systems and institutions need to be redesigned if free, open, non-authoritarian societies are to survive.== --- ## About: - Critical Conversations for the Future of Human Civilization. - At no other point in history has humanity faced such a wide range of novel catastrophic risks. Our civilization has never been more vast, complicated, and fragile. This systemic fragility is exacerbated by new technologies, geopolitical instability, an ecological crisis and a reliance on global economic supply chains. These interlocking, interrelated problems are known collectively as the _metacrisis_. The Consilience Project’s primary aim is to clarify and reveal the nature of the metacrisis to enable comprehensive solutions to global problems. Our work recognizes the interconnectedness of humanity’s challenges: any solution must factor the underlying drivers of each one. - We publish research and analysis to help guide decision-makers and leaders towards the critical paths necessary to address the unique challenges of our time. The content published here is for any individual, group or institution trying to innovate around global coordination challenges, catastrophic risks and social technologies. - The Consilience Project is a publication of the Civilization Research Institute (CRI), a charitable think tank focused on reducing systemic fragility and advancing new forms of governance and coordination. CRI seeks to inform the next era of human collaboration and collective intelligence to ensure human and ecological thriving. --- ### Links: - Main Site: www.consilienceproject.org --- ### Social: - Twitter: www.twitter.com/ConsilienceNews - Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheConsilienceProject - LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/the-consilience-project/ - YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCfUVJmGRlSh6ESiwgSppnsQ --- ### Team: - [[Daniel Schmachtenberger]] (Project Strategy) - Rachel Howard (Biological Research) - Joseph Romero (Culture, News & Journalism) - [[Samo Burja]] (Geopolitical Intelligence) - [[Zak Stein]] (Psychometrics & Education) - Rob Schuham (Strategy & Operations) - Gilbert Morris (Economics & Culture) - Jess Webb (Social Network Intelligence) - Ben Landau-Taylor (Economic Intelligence) - Thomas Ermacora (Future Oriented Design) - Mia Grable (Operations) - Ryan Walsh (Product Strategy) - Sammi Fischer (Executive Administrator) - Julia Pope (Strategic communications & Partnerships) - Bob Gray (Visual Design & Brand) - Paul Hughes (Branding, Design, Innovation) - Matt Ellison (Diplomacy & International Security) - Eugenio Battaglia (Product Engineering) --- ### Advisors: - Deepa Purushothaman (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) - [[Tristan Harris]] (Technology Ethics) - [[Jordan Hall]] (Strategic Intelligence) - R.P.
