DAVE SNOWDEN: From enlightenment to entanglement

[@IK_1980]

I like the way Dave talks about the third attractor, which fits in with Gad Saad's analogy of a ( collective mind) virus. You cannot escape the 'rumor'.

I’ve heard Snowden refer to Descartes previously in dismissive manner. I was always confused by it as I took the whole “I think therefore I am” as not impacting Cynefin or Sensemaking in any way while I saw Cartesian more as (x,y) or (x,y,z) and (lat/long) in context to which I didn’t understand why Dave would want to move past such especially as he sees value in creating and using a topography. No Descartes, no topography. But, here, I finally heard his reasoning. Descartes separated body and soul so as to enable science to work with the body while making room for the Church to keep the soul. In this Descartes avoided a conflict. I find this funny, however, as in so doing, he gave us means to work in cognitive dissonance. One would think having means to work in dissonance would be good for Complexity as, per Dave, we need to explore coherent ideas which may exclude each other.

Isn't there is an 'n' missing in front of the 'g' in the entanglement title of this video?
