In this conversation on race, Anu Gupta talks about race, bias, and solutions. Anu Gupta thinks we are all biased, and that we all need to be "Breaking Bias," every day. In this episode, he shares his story of how other people's bias almost caused him to take his life. Anu Gupta is a renowned meditation teacher, human rights lawyer, scientist, and author of the book "Breaking Bias.'" The discussion centers around the profound impact of biases, including Anu's personal experiences with racial 'othering' and post-9/11 Islamophobia, which led to his severe mental health struggles. He introduces the PRISM framework (Perspective-taking, Prosocial behavior, Individuation, Stereotype replacement, and Mindfulness) as a set of tools for fostering systemic change and understanding. Anu's initiative, Be More With Anu, and his call to action for greater awareness and inclusive practices highlight the steps people can take to break through their biases. Our society is experiencing a mental health crisis where too many people are "othered" because of skin color, and other differences and feel like they don't belong. By "Breaking Bias," we can increase empathy, connection, and reduce fear of differences.

His work has reached 300+ organizations training more than 80,000 professionals impacting over 30 million lives. As a gay immigrant of color, he came to the work of breaking bias after almost ending his life due to lifelong experiences with racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia. The realization that bias can be unlearned helped lead him out of that dark point and inspired a lifelong mission to build a global movement for social healing based on principles of mindfulness and compassion. A peer-reviewed author, he has written and spoken extensively, including on the TED stage, the Oprah Conversation, Fast Company, Newsweek, and Vogue Business.

Read the full transcript here. How does psychological time differ from clock time? How does a person's perception of time relate to their personal identity? How does a person's view of their past shape how they view their future? To what extent do people differ in the degree to which they feel like a single, continuous person across time? What effects does a person's perception of time have on their assessment of injustices? Why aren't there more adversarial collaborations in academia? Is academia generally politically left-leaning? How does lack of political diversity in academia compare to (e.g.) lack of gender or economic diversity? Are liberal or progressive academics openly willing to discriminate against conservative academics when, for example, the latter have opportunities for career advancement? Is anyone in the US actually calling for legal changes around free speech laws, or are they only discussing how people ought to be socially ostracized or punished for expressing certain viewpoints? And is there a meaningful difference between legal and social punishments for those who make illegal or taboo statements? Are we in the midst of an ideological war right now? And if so, ought we to quash in-group criticism to avoid giving ammunition to our ideological enemies? Academia seems to have hemorrhaged public trust over the last few decades; so what can be done to begin restoring that trust?Anne Wilson is a professor of social psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Much of her research focuses on self and identity over time both for individual self and collective identities like nation, race, and gender. Her work illuminates the often-motivated malleability of our reconstructions of the past, forecasts of the future, and subjective perceptions of time itself. Her broad focus on motivated reasoning and cognitive bias has also led to more recent research on intergroup misperception, political polarization, and how speech suppression and censorship can inhibit collective bias correction.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Jessica Nowicki is a Research Scientist at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University. She is interested in the mechanistic basis of prosocial behavior in early vertebrates. She uses poison frogs, which display considerable variation in sociality among closely related species, for comparatively identifying neural correlates of pair bonding within the clade. In order to verify the functional involvement of these correlates, she then couples this with functional tests on the strongly pair bonding species, Ranitomeya imitator. In this episode, we talk about the evolution of prosocial behavior. We talk about what prosocial behavior is, and how old it is in evolutionary history. We go through affiliative behavior, pair bonding and parental care, and empathy. We discuss how important it is to look beyond mammals, and the role of gene expression in prosocial behavior. Finally, we talk about the extended evolutionary synthesis, and how we should be wary of our own cultural biases when studying animal behavior. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Find out about our comprehensive course to help you create fulfilling relationships on our website: https://therelationshipmaze.com.Welcome to the Relationship Maze podcast, where we explore the complexities of modern relationships. In today's episode, we are talking with Dr Steven C. Hayes, the originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).Frequently we get caught up in the trap of our own minds. The struggle with trying to manage our thoughts and feelings can stop us from fully engaging with our lives and our relationships. ACT presents a ground breaking approach to help you discover a different way to relate to your thoughts and feelings so that you can find more peace and fulfilment in your life and relationships.Dr. Steven C. Hayes is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno and President of the Institute for Better Health, a 45-year old charitable organization dedicated to better mental and behavioral health.His work has been focused on developing a new behavioral science approach called Contextual Behavioral Science. He originated its underlying philosophical of science (Functional Contextualism), its basic science of human higher cognition (Relational Frame Theory or "RFT"), its application to individual psychological change (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Training, "ACT" in either case), and co-developed its application to the development of more cooperative groups (Prosocial). He has helped develop a model of human suffering and human prosperity (the Psychological Flexibility Model), a new method of analyzing processes of change (idionomic analysis), a new vision of what evidence-based intervention should be (Process-Based Therapy), and he has extended multidimensional and multilevel evolutionary thinking to human problems of all kinds. His work has been celebrated with several awards, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies and the Impact of Science on Application Award from the Society for the Advancement of Behaviour Analysis.With 47 books and nearly 700 scientific articles published, Dr. Hayes is one of the most cited psychologists in the world as he continues to innovate in the field of psychology.In this fascinating interview, we'll be exploring many areas regarding ourselves and our relationships and how increasing our psychological flexibility can be so important in our lives.What is your argument style?

In part two of the conversation with leadership coach and team building expert David Burkus, he offers more practical tools for creating efficient and autonomous teams. Supported by forward-thinking research, David zeroes in on the importance of psychological safety as a pillar for any organization. Psychological safety is a combination of respect and trust, especially when team members are taking interpersonal risks by sharing ideas or issues with leadership. In conversations with team members, a strong leader listens thoughtfully, summarizes what they heard, and asks clarifying follow-up questions. Research also shows that people are more invested in their output if they know who is impacted by their work. Telling human stories about a company's effects on the larger community and offering consistent and specific gratitude increases motivation. Intentionally investing in the relationships that keep a business running smoothly ensures a culture of connection and overall job satisfaction.

Sprut, høj musik og urinstøv. Læg så søvnunderskud og en diæt bestående af burgere og andet fedtet takeaway oveni. Det lyder jo ikke ligefrem sundt. Men faktisk viser forskning, at det kan være sundt for det mentale helbred at gå på festival. Det fortæller den norske sociologiprofessor Aksel Tjora, der forsker i festivaler, i denne episode af Brainstorm til værterne Josefine og Nana. Han kommer også med tre konkrete råd til, hvordan han mener, du kan styrke den positive effekt, som festivaler potentielt kan have for din psyke. De selvsamme råd tester værternes kollega, Anne-Sophie Tingsted, som er taget på Roskilde Festival for første gang. Brainstorm er støttet af Lundbeckfonden. Links: Aksel Tjoras bog: ‘Festival!

Tradycyjnie na zachowania niepożądane, takie jak bullying w szkole, jak na rodzaj patologii, który odbiega od przyjętych społecznie, medycznie czy kulturowo norm. Szukamy sprawców, przyczyn i sposobów zwalczania ich występowania lub przynajmniej niwelowania negatywnych konsekwencji. Podobnie jakbyśmy radzili sobie z jakimś rodzajem choroby czy epidemii. Taka strategia w znacznym stopniu pomija fakt, że to kontekst kreowania w szkole kultury rywalizacji i konkurencji przyczynia się do pojawiania się zachowań przemocowych - jednych bardziej innych mniej społecznie aprobowanych. Jeśli dodamy do tego brak metodologii i miejsca w programie edukacyjnym na nauczanie umiejętności społecznych i emocjonalnych, oczywistym jest, że młodzi ludzie mogą mieć kłopoty z budowaniem wartościowych relacji. Jak współczesne teorie naukowe badające ewolucję, ekonomię czy ludzki behawioryzm, mogą pomóc nam lepiej zrozumieć mechanizmy niepokojących nas procesów społecznych? jak dzięki nim możemy uczyć się prospołeczności, czyli umiejętności działania na rzecz wspólnego dobra, współpracy, troski o siebie i innych? Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowiada Hubert Czupała, psycholog, wykładowca Uniwersytetu SWPS. Spotkanie odbyło się podczas „II Dni OLWEUSA”, studenckiego wydarzenia naukowego o charakterze konferencji, dotyczącego bullyingu i przemocy rówieśniczej w szkołach, organizowane przez Koło Naukowe Badań Relacji Rówieśniczych i Bullyingu OLWEUS.

Business Meeting #120Evolution of Behavior Analysis: Update on EvoSci Special Interest Group (SIG) Establishment Friday, May 26, 2023 7:00 – 8:00 PM Convention Center Mile High Ballroom 3A Chair: Yukie Kurumiya (The Chicago School of Professional Psychology) Presenting Authors: This is an open meeting for anyone interested in the advancement and evolution of behavior analysis through the lenses of evolutionary science and cultural selection. This meeting will serve to update EvoSci SIG supporting members on our progress in establishing the SIG. We invite interested behavior analysts across related disciplines to share their aspirations on the evolution of our field. 2. Symposium #129 Diversity submission From the Tyranny of the Few to Survival of All: Culturo-Behavior Science for All Sunday, May 28, 2023 8:00 – 9:50 AM Convention Center Mile High Ballroom 2B Area: CSS/PCH; Domain: Translational Chair: Nanni Presti (Kore University) Discussant: Anthony Biglan (Oregon Research Institute) CE Instructor: Anthony Biglan, Ph.D. Abstract: Periodically, social upheavals challenge well established cultural rules and practices. A sampling of current tensions includes what is observed between those who accept social stratification as inevitable and those who labor for social justice, between conservative, progressive, and libertarian agendas, between those who would grant remarkable power to businesses and those who would limit those powers in favor of public health and climate justice. Culturo-behavior scientists have advanced a number of strategies grounded in evolutionary, prevention, and behavior sciences, Skinner's philosophy of science, and contemporary approaches to language and cognition. Advances in conceptual and empirical evidence for the planned use of interlocked behavior contingencies suggest that it is not too late to create a sustainable economy in which all humans matter, all voices are heard, and all can access basic goods and services. In this symposium, Giovambattista Presti, Francisco Perez, Thomas Szabo, Yukie Kurumiya, and Dennis Embry discuss these advances. At the end, Tony Biglan will provide commentary. 3. Panel #128 Diversity submission Global Perspectives on the Need for Behavior-Based Cultural Evolution - Working Together Sunday, May 28, 2023 4:00 – 4:50 PM Hyatt Regency, Mineral Hall D-G Area: CSS/PCH; Domain: Translational CE Instructor: Henry S. Pennypacker, Ph.D. Chair: Francisco Ignacio Perez (University of Texas Health Science Center - Houston School of Public Health) Henry Pennypacker (University of Florida) Naoko Sugiyama (Seisa University) Neil Timothy Martin (Behavior Analyst Certification Board) Abstract: The panel discussion will encourage audience participation. Together, we will focus on how we can promote and cultivate prosocial behavior on a global scale as well as in our own communities. As John Lennon told us, “imagine all the people living life in peace.” Skinner (1973) educated us that the science of behavior plays a leading role in creating an environment where cultural evolutionary changes for the better can be selected. He urged us to act and apply our knowledge about human behavior to prevent a catastrophic future and secure a healthy world for those who follow us. To accomplish these objectives, the panel will address the need to conceptualize our mission and discuss the necessity for formal training in the cultural and evolutionary sciences so that behavior analysts can become proficient leaders that can educate their communities and promote the environment that will facilitate behavior change, such as increasing the frequency of prosocial behavior, that will be needed to live together in harmony, peace, and prosperity. This can be our gift to those who follow us! Books and Articles mentioned for Behaviour Analysts (last name alphabetical): Tony Biglan's work (articles, books, etc.) related to prevention science and CBS to address societal and global issues are also inspiring readings.

When it comes to dealing with our flaws and frailties that can lead to or result in compulsive overconsumption, shame can be a tricky concept. Shame can provide the impetus to stop the behavior but also the means for perpetuating it. How do we reconcile this paradox? Let's start with a look at shame. What is it? The psychological literature today identifies it as an emotion distinct from guilt. The thinking is that shame makes us feel bad about ourselves as people, whereas guilt makes us feel bad about our actions while preserving a positive sense of self. So a distinct line is drawn between shame as a maladaptive emotion and guilt as an adaptive emotion. However, the shame-guilt dichotomy seems to come up lacking since experientially, shame and guilt are almost identical. Yes, I might be able to distinguish self-loathing from "being a good person who did something wrong," but in that moment of realization that I've blown it, all I feel is one emotion: regret mixed with fear of punishment that may take the form of abandonment as in being scorned, cast out, shunned, canceled. So there is a coalescing of shame and guilt that delivers a one-two gut punch that can lay us out. We've all experienced this at some level, haven't we? Yet the shame-guilt dichotomy does tap into something real. It could be that the difference is not how we experience the emotion, but how others respond to our fall. If others respond by condemning, rejecting, or casting us out, we may enter into a cycle that intensifies the emotional experience of shame that can set the stage for us to continue, and perhaps at an intensified level, the behavior that led to feeling shame in the first place. Dr. Anna Lembke, professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic as well as author of the bestseller, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, calls this destructive shame. To the contrary, if others respond by holding us closer by expressing compassion, mercy, and empathy, and then attempt to help by providing guidance or simply offering the gift of non-judgmental presence, we enter a very different cycle. Dr. Lembke refers to this cycle as prosocial shame. Prosocial shame mitigates the grueling emotional experience of shame and can help us stop or reduce the flawed behavior. ___________________________________________________ Attributions: Lembke, Anna.

It's easy to tell ourselves we're living in the world we want – one where Darwinian evolution drives competing technology platforms and capitalism pushes nations to maximize GDP regardless of externalities like carbon emissions. It can feel like evolution and competition are all there is.If that's a complete description of what's driving the world and our collective destiny, that can feel pretty hopeless. But what if that's not the whole story of evolution? This is where evolutionary theorist, author, and professor David Sloan Wilson comes in. He has documented where an enlightened game, one of cooperation, rather than competition, is possible. His work shows that humans can and have chosen values like cooperation, altruism and group success – versus individual competition and selfishness – at key moments in our evolution, proving that evolution isn't just genetic. It's cultural, and it's a choice. In a world where our trajectory isn't tracking in the direction we want, it's time to slow down and ask: is a different kind of conscious evolution possible? On Your Undivided Attention, we're going to update the Darwinian principles of evolution using a critical scientific lens that can help upgrade our ability to cooperate – ranging from the small community-level, all the way to entire technology companies that can cooperate in ways that allow everyone to succeed.

Today's show focuses on the Prosocial movement, a network of people who are studying and testing and putting into action practices guided by principles that put people first. Our guest, Jordan Harmon, a therapist with strong Latter-day Saint roots who practices in Utah, is part of this movement and brings it into focus for those of us who may never have encountered it. In the process, we learn what study has shown to be key factors in the success of groups whose goals are focused on the well-being of people, the biosphere, and this planet with its limited resources. He draws us into the work taking place in many fields, including his own, and leads us through the movement's guiding principles. In the final third of the discussion, he and Latter-day Faith host Dan Wotherspoon turn their attention to religion and how certain ideas, ideals, concepts, and phrases might align with prosocial notions and practices. And, of course, as they discuss religion, Mormonism and some of its notions make their appearance. Listen in! You will learn a lot and find yourself chewing on many of the conversation's wonderful morsels.
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Alignment via prosocial brain algorithms, published by Cameron Berg on September 12, 2022 on LessWrong. In this post, I want to briefly propose a semi-novel direction for alignment research that I'm excited about. Though some of these ideas are not brand new—they purposefully bear resemblance to recent (highly promising) work in SHARD theory and Steve Byrnes's approach to brain-based AGI safety—I think my emphases are sufficiently different so as to justify a more thorough explanation. Why are humans 'worthy' of being in the loop? I think the following three claims help motivate the general research direction I have in mind. 1) Many of the most coherent AI safety strategies proposed to date (e.g., HCH, imitative and approval-based amplification, recursive reward modeling, and more) involve human decision-makers in some meaningful capacity. I claim, therefore, that these proposals implicitly presuppose that there are specific algorithmic properties of the human mind/brain that make us comfortable entrusting these ‘humans in the loop' with the task of minimizing the likelihood of AI-induced bad outcomes. This idea is demonstrated especially clearly by ‘safety via debate,' for instance: 2) I think the special brain algorithms in question—e.g., the ones that make us comfortable entrusting a neurotypical human to decide who won in the set-up above—are more familiarly thought of as prosocial or moral cognition. A claim like this would predict that we would be uncomfortable entrusting humans who lacked the relevant prosocial instincts (e.g., psychopaths) to oversee a safety-via-debate-type set-up, which seems correct. I think the reason that it is a very natural thought to want to incorporate neurotypical human decision-makers into alignment proposals is that we are confident (enough) that such decisions will be made carefully—or at least more carefully than if there were no humans involved. In other words, individual humans in the loop are entrusted-by-default to serve as competent advocates for the interests of society at large (and who are more than likely aware of the fact that they are serving this role), able to infer suspicious behavior, evaluate subtle short- and long-term predicted consequences, be humble about said evaluations, probably solicit second opinions, etc.—somehow! 3) Our understanding of human prosocial cognition is growing increasingly precise and predictive. In cognitive neuroscience writ large, computational modeling has become a dominant approach to understanding the algorithms that the human brain instantiates, with talented researchers like Joshua Tenenbaum, Robb Rutledge, and Anne Collins leading the charge. This work has taken off in recent years and has enabled cognitive scientists to define and test hypotheses that are unprecedented in their mathematical precision and predictive power. Here are two good introductory (1, 2) examples of this sort of work that pertain explicitly to human prosocial cognition. I expect my future writing—and that of others interested in this sort of approach—to feature far more examples of good alignment-relevant computational social neuroscience research. With these ideas in mind, my proposal is to conduct technical research to better understand these prosocial brain algorithms with the ultimate goal of instantiating some refined version of them directly into a future AGI (which is likely doing something approximating model-based RL). Here is a pretty straightforward two-step plan for doing so: Synthesize high-quality social neuroscience literature—with a particular focus on good computational modeling work—in order to more fully develop a rigorous account of the most important algorithms underlying human prosocial behavior. Develop specific corrigibility proposals for instantiating these algorithms in AI systems i...
We who attend Burning Man and other multi day mass gatherings have long felt that these events are personally and lastingly transformational. In May of this year, Dr. Molly Crockett and their team at Crockett Lab at Yale University published research demonstrating what we always believed. Today on Life is a Festival, Dr Crockett explains their findings and what they mean for harnessing the transformative power of festivals. On the show we talk about what transformation is and how it can be studied, specifically focusing on generosity and expanded circles of moral concern. Dr Crockett explains how their team conducted research at six field sites over a number of years. We discuss their controls for the research including for psychedelic use. We explore morality and tribalism and finally Dr Crockett shares how their research can help us make our lives more like a festival. Dr. Crockett is a behavioral neuroscientist who studies human morality, altruism, decision making, and moral outrage. They have just accepted tenure at Princeton University after serving as an Associate Professor of Psychology at Yale University. Their research on transformational experiences at events was published in Nature Communications on May 27, 2022.

Find out more about Dr Gareth Craze's coaching and philosophy here; https://energeiacoaching.com/energeia-coaching/ Dr Gareth Craze is an old friend of mine who's career has followed a similar trajectory into coaching. But what makes Gareth unique is that he has learned to make the most of what we call being a Lone Wolf (sometimes known as a "sigma male"). Some people only need a small tight circle of connections and have no interest in being social butterflies, and Gareth is the prime example of a guy who's made that work for him. We also discuss his recovery from depression and his incredibly diverse career that took him from promoting heavy metal shows to coaching senior executives! Dr. Gareth Craze is a behavioural scientist and coaching psychologist, as well as a board-certified executive coach, health and wellness coach, and personal lifestyle coach. He has coached leaders and professionals across numerous different industries and organizations in the areas of leadership development, workplace performance and behaviour change, work-life integration, professional resilience, and executive assessment. Gareth is also experienced in group learning and development, and is a certified Prosocial facilitator and coach; using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and contextual behavioural science to build and sustain thriving, effective teams.
In this episode, I discuss prosocial behavior and what influences us to act for other people. Social exchange and empathy altruism theory are a couple of many factors that come into play with helping others. In this one, I use the example of the Zegota found in the book "Social Psychology by Elliot Aronson to help illustrate the reasons behind helping. Tune in to learn more about why we help others!
An iconic Christian hymn encourages listeners who may be “tempest-tossed” or otherwise burdened to “Count Your Blessings.”Jenae Nelson, who has conducted research on indebtedness with Brigham Young University professors Dr. Sam Hardy and Dr. Dianne Tice, bolsters this claim. In a yearlong study, Nelson found that recognizing what God has done, and feeling an indebtedness toward Him, doesn't create feelings of obligation, but rather leads to increased overall happiness, well-being and even prosocial behavior. Nelson received her doctorate from Brigham Young University and is now a postdoctoral research fellow at Baylor University and a research affiliate at Harvard University. She joins this episode of the Church News podcast to discuss her research and share how cultivating gratitude and indebtedness can improve a person's life and deepen his or her connection to God. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Joe Brewer has separate bachelors degrees in physics, mathematics, and interdisciplinary studies and a masters in atmospheric sciences. He is a complexity researcher, innovation strategist, experience designer, and serial social entrepreneur who brings a wealth of expertise to the adoption of sustainable solutions at the cultural scale. Among his notable achievements are the creation of an undergraduate degree program in Earth Systems, Environment and Society at the University of Illinois and design of new collaboration protocols for strategic communications among European NGO's with WWF-UK and Oxfam, in the UK. He was an active member of the Center for Complex Systems Research from 2001 to 2005, where he studied pattern formation in self-organizing systems. He was a research fellow at the Rockridge Institute in 2007-08 analyzing political discourse in the United States. He contracted with the International Centre for Earth Simulation in Geneva in 2010-11 to help build a globally-focused high performance computing facility dedicated to holistic simulations of the dynamic Earth. His experiences as a social entrepreneur and cross-disciplinary scholar weave together a combination of skills dedicated to open collaboration, interactive design, and empowered civic action for catalyzing change toward greater resilience in our turbulent world.More recently, he has moved to Colombia and is engaged in regenerating an area of dry desert with the aim of returning it to flourishing biodiversity. He has written The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth and established Earth Regenerators, a community, a study group and a place to share ideas that will bring us closer to a prosocial world, focussed on bioregions where the human and More-Than-Human worlds integrate, where we organise with direct local democracy, create a steady state economy, based on shared values and not on growth, and where we predicate our actions on trusting the good intentions of others. In this deep, penetrating conversation, full of radical honesty, we discuss the end of the holocene and its implications, explore the age of the anthropocene and what may come of it, and how all of us can become earth regenerators - what it means, and how it might work. Joe outlines the processes of his 8 week course and his new GoFundMe project to birth a bioregion. Joe's Book: https://www.chelseagreen.com/product/the-design-pathway-for-regenerating-earth/

A new collaborative design methodology is emerging. Prosocial can transform a collection of self-interested individuals into a harmonious and effective group. And it helps groups work with other groups, exponentially scaling positive change. This episode is a deep inquiry into the nuances of human behavior and cooperation. We'll explore the foundational science and core design principles with the founder of Prosocial World, Dr. Paul Atkins. Our journey also takes us to Sierra Leone to speak with Hannah Bockarie and Beate Ebert about their experience with Prosocial during the Ebola outbreak of 2014.
Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 The concept of society as an organism stretches back to antiquity and was a mainstay of 19th and early 20th century social science. Likewise, 19th century evolutionary thinkers such as Spencer and Lamarck envisioned evolution as in part a conscious process and even Darwin shared these views to a degree. Both of these concepts–society as an organism and conscious evolution– became marginalized and even taboo within evolutionary biology during the middle of the 20th century. Group selection seemed to be authoritatively rejected and all adaptations were explained as for the good of individuals and their selfish genes. And evolution was said to have no purpose whatsoever: Variation is random and only the immediate environment does the selecting. Today, these seemingly authoritative positions themselves appear outdated. The individualistic focus can be seen as part of a broader intellectual trend of individualism, which also pervaded economics and the social sciences during the same period. And the denial of any conscious component to evolution was overly influenced by mendelian genetics, as opposed to other evolutionary processes such as human cultural evolution. In my talk, I will show that the concepts of society as an organism and conscious evolution can be fully validated by modern evolutionary science, providing a practical framework for consciously evolving a planetary superorganism. -- David Sloan Wilson is one of the world's foremost evolutionary thinkers and a gifted communicator about evolution to the general public. He is SUNY Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biology and Anthropology at Binghamton University. In addition to his teaching and research, David is President of Prosocial World – an organisation which aims to catalyze positive cultural change to consciously evolve who we are, how we connect with each other, and how we interact with the planet. David is passionate about making evolution more accessible to a wider audience, and was invited to speak with the Dalai Lama about his work in 2019. He is the author of several books on evolutionary theory, including: “Atlas Hugged” (his first novel), “This View of Life”, “Evolution for Everyone”, “Darwin's Cathedral”, “Does Altruism Exist?”, and the co-author of “Prosocial”, along with Paul Atkins and Steven Hayes.
