Pratt. Why is it good intentioned people who try to solve great problems often make decisions that have terrible outcomes . We said we were going to change the world. Did we . Probably a bit and probably for the better. But i think at the same time some physicians have led us to better consequences as georgia said, we live in a fragile world today and it is a class of complex difficult situations that we as a society have yet to figure out. On a personal level i make decisions every day. I bought this car got this car. Its a hybrid that but i tell i have no idea if the co2 i get for my 70 miles per 70 miles per gallon and the commercial impact of the battery after it gets stored and maybe we would have explored new technologies that have less of an impact. This is my mom. I bought a scarf couple of years ago at christmas. If i bought that scarf 100 or so ago, fine, no problem. Today, i dont know if it was made in a sweatshop using costbenefit pesticides grown and there are huge amounts
I think i like to think of it as efficient a pond. Maybe there are 200 fish the side of traditional human societies, everything is going okay for a few years. Then a storm happens in the river opens up connecting that fishpond to the ocean. New fish swim upstream, the environment is fundamentally different. We are in that situation today as a society, things are changing radically. Actions have outcome at a distance and that is what link is about, the actions that we take and the decisions we make as we consider the actions in the past through which those actions become reality. How can we be responsible for the outcomes of our actions if they are invisible, if we can see the outcome of our actions, a fish in a larger ocean, we simply didnt eat all the for this situation. I am lucky i went through the computer revolution. When i was a kid computers were big old things no one could use, my mom didnt know the difference between software and hardware. We have gone through a massive democr
Just said we live in a fragile world today. And as a class as complex and difficult situation that we as a society have yet to figure out. At a personal level, i make decisions every day, i bought this car a while back, a hybrid but i tell you i have annoyed you if the co2 i get for my 70 Miles Per Hour gallon as a benefit to all of us outweighs the cost of creating the car and the potential pollution impact of the battery after get stored. And maybe if we had not done the battery we would export new technologies that have less of an impact, was it good for me too buy this car, i do not know. This is my mom, i bought her that scarf a couple years ago at christmas. If i had bought that 100 years ago fine, no problem. Today i dont know if that scarf was made in a sweatshop using cotton that had pesticides growing on it and there were huge amounts of co2 as the scarf traveled a long way away to the place were about it. My choices have actions at a distance and i have annoyed you what thos
And that something thats missing is we havent coming up from the technology instead of putting humans at the center of the equations. We work closely with doug. I like that he calls it intelligent augmentation because you can think of ai think upside down to the ia. When i interviewed all of these people, i found what i called for a while a decision architect what is a decision . Dot process that leads to an action. At that action in a complex world flows through and i dont know what to buy that scarf or car will do to the world. It will have impact, but honestly i dont feel very motivated because i cannot see that impact. It doesnt grab my primate brain in a way that makes me think i need to buy that hybrid car. I cant see it in the the data today in the ia stacked today isnt giving that to me. This is my dog. Im in training him to be a service dog and i have had him pretty much his whole life since he was 11 months old and i had this awesome thing happened to me. I have a trainer tea
