S02E05 - Can WE Fix Politics & Beyond? (A Summary of The Beyond Politics Series)

The Unlearning Playground

Jul 26 2024 • 44 mins

Today's video is the last in The Beyond Politics Video Series on The Unlearning Playground by Chetan Narang & Rocco Jarman. Well, last in the first iteration (we hope!). This is my first standalone video in this series, and what I talk about is a summary of the entire series, key takeaways everyone can have from it and practical advices for everyone listening to actually make an impact in our society & in our shared future together. When Rocco & I brainstormed the idea of Beyond Politics, we could see that in the current situation of the global political atmosphere, in the USA or in India or in various other societies throughout the world, polarisation is increasingly becoming the norm. The ideological divide among people is deepening and this growing rift is not only impacting political discourse but also hindering our ability to address pressing societal issues effectively - issues for which even if we already have the necessary tools already, our political framings block us from cooperating and actually solving them. -------------- The entire series is available via this playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGTAFgEsIneXcoBEzsYfc0wNB5H0Rssot You may also watch short clips from the series here in this playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGTAFgEsIneWwqiZ_y8JgNUshNx0Jh3q8

-------------- The key insights I share today (and what we discuss in the entire Beyond Politics Series) are applicable not just to the political climate in India or the United States of America, but is fundamental to the way we humans work and coordinate (or at least try to coordinate!) ==== Outline ==== (00:00) - Coming-Up Next (00:33) - A brief summary of Beyond Politics by Chetan Narang & Rocco Jarman (05:06) - A Personal Story (Polarisation in Our Everyday Life) (09:24) - Our Fears are the same (Recent Trends in Modern Politics) (11:40) - IF you want to be a part of the solution (17:09) - The Cone Example and Politics Today (20:37) - Key Point 1 - The Two Golden Rules (26:07) - Key Point 2 - Two Questions to Always Consider (27:50) - Key Point 3 - The Tim Urban Levels of Thinking Paradigm (29:37) - Key Point 4 - The Human Consciousness Pyramid (34:46) - Understanding the Current Human Condition & What lies AHEAD (37:47) - How to use Agile to Solve Politics (42:44) - Concluding Thoughts & Invitations -------------- The polarisation we see all around us is indeed a sad reality of modern life, and it's about time someone acts like the adult in the room and helps us get out of the mess we have created for ourselves - as a society and also as individuals.
