Vandaag bespreken we het boek Geschiedenis voor morgen van Roman Krznaric. Ondertitel: Inspiratie uit het verleden voor de toekomst Boek gepubliceerd 4 jul 2024 (Engels) 5 sep 2024 (NL) - de Engelse titel is, History for tomorrow. We kregen het boek van de uitgever ten have, dank je wel daarvoor. Goed boek. Verhalen uit de geschiedenis gebruiken om het heden te beschouwen. Het laat mij zien dat alles al een of meerdere keren is gebeurd. De geschiedenis herhaalt zich telkens weer. Terwijl we zelf het gevoel hebben in een unieke tijd te leven met eigen urgentie. Beschavingen komen en gaan. Diersoorten komen en gaan. Als een diersoort eenmaal is verdwenen, komt ze niet meer terug. Inleiding - Terugblikken om vooruit te gaan 1 Afkicken van fossiele brandstoffen 2 Naar meer verdraagzaamheid 3 Consuminderen 4 Sociale media beteugelen 5 Water voor iedereen 6 Het vertrouwen in de democratie herstellen 7 De genetische revolutie in goede banen leiden 8 De ongelijkheidskloof dichten 9 Machines onder controle hebben 10 De ineenstorting van de beschaving afwenden Conclusie Vijf redenen voor radicale hoop Inleiding - Terugblikken om vooruit te gaan Interessant hoe hij hier kijkt naar sociale innovatie. Historisch denken is het tegengif tegen de tirannie van het nu en bestrijdt het gebruikelijke vooruitgangsnaratief, dat de oplossing altijd komt uit de hoek van de technologie. Ik loop achterwaarts met mijn ogen gericht op het verleden de toekomst in. 1 Afkicken van fossiele brandstoffen Radicaal activisme en de kracht van burgerlijke ongehoorzaamheid Voorbeelden als afkicken van de slavernij. Hoe de elite telkens weer probeert vast te houden aan het huidige want zij hebben het meeste te verliezen, waarbij ze ook proberen gecompenseerd te worden voor de verliezen. Belangrijk hierin is hoe activisten uiteindelijk het verschil maken. Radicale flanken hebben meer extreme standpunten,m waardoor de standpunten van het midden meer acceptabel lijkt voor de zittende macht. (Raam van Overton) Alleen ontwrichtende protesten werken. 2 Naar meer verdraagzaamheid Samenleven in een middeleeuws islamitisch rijk Vaderlandsliefde komt voort uit bedachte gemeenschappen. We hebben allemaal een migratieverhaal in ons, homo viator, de dwalende soort. Convivialiteit, leren leven met de verschillen in een multiculturele gemeenschap. Uitleg over het Chinese gevaar in de VS dat plotseling veranderde toen de Japanners, Pearl Habor aanvielen en Chinees-Amerikaansen het leger in gingen. Ander voorbeeld Al-Andalus het jaar 1000, de stad Córdoba waar joden, christenen en moslims naast elkaar leefden. Belangrijk ze hadden een gemeenschappelijke taal, het Arabisch en vrijheid van godsdienst. Steden stimuleren ons om burgers te worden. Hoe groter de stad, hoe groter de kans dat inwoners toleranter zijn. Singapore - etnische quota in wijken. Een wijk kan niet bewoond worden door een raciale groep. Bewust plannen en ontwerpen van de stad is belangrijk. 3 Consuminderen Pre-industrieel Japan en het ontwerp van een regeneratieve economie Voorbeeld van het eenvoudige leven (Quakers) soberheid, geen opsmuk, eenvoudige spullen en maaltijden. Winst drukken door klanten te vragen minder te kopen. Ze streven een grotere ideaal na. Van buiten eenvoudig, van binnen rijk. Je maakt de vrije geldloze ruimte in je leven groter. Minder kopen en meer zijn. Het mooie voorbeeld van Japan (1600-1868), dat Heel gecontroleerd werd geleefd. Door de kaalslag van de bossen zochten ze naar een oplossing. Een afgezonderd eiland. Zelfvoorzienend. Alles werd hergebruikt. Uitgebreide regels waren hiervoor nodig. Een gesloten economisch bestel of autarkie. Een nieuw ontwerp voor en regeneratieve toekomst Edo (Japan) al voorbeeld, een economie die nul afval produceert, rantsoenering van koolstof en vlees, Burgerbeweging Take the Jump met zes grondregels 4 Sociale media beteugelen

Social philosopher Roman Krznaric and renegade economist Kate Raworth explore how we can survive and thrive by looking to the past for clues on how to build more regenerative economic frameworks. Doughnut economics describes the social and planetary boundaries needed for all people to prosper within the means of the living planet. Studying historic examples through the lens of doughnut economics, Krznaric and Raworth find the environmentally safe and socially just space in which humanity and all other living things can flourish.

(Conversation recorded on August 5th, 2024) While the global crises we face are on a larger scale than anything before, there is rich wisdom to glean from past civilizations who have faced existential challenges and survived – or even thrived. What lessons might we learn from history that could offer guidance for our future? In this episode, Nate is joined by social philosopher Roman Krznaric to discuss ways we might govern or lead during moments of crisis, using the lens of former and current civilizations. What lessons have we forgotten when it comes to being in community with and listening to each other? How have our ideas and expectations of the future been informed by seeing history as a story of individuals shaping the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than a collective effort? How could learning from the past to create better democracies, wiser natural resource stewardship, and more circular economies help us prioritize human and planetary well-being?

Roman Krznaric, philosopher and author of the book "The Good Ancestor: A Radical Prescription for Long Term Thinking," says that there are two parts of the human brain that are driving our decisions and ultimately determining what kind of legacy we leave behind for future generations. Short-term thinking happens in the marshmallow brain (named after the famous Stanford marshmallow test), while long-term thinking and strategizing occurs in the acorn brain. By retraining ourselves to use the acorn brain more often, we can ensure that trillions of people—including our grandchildren and their grandchildren—aren't inheriting a depleted world and the worst traits that humankind has to offer. "At the moment we're using on average 1.6 planet earths each year in terms of our ecological footprint," says Krznaric, but that doesn't mean that it's too late to turn things around. Thinking long term about things like politics and education can help "rebuild our imaginations of what a civilization could be." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROMAN KRZNARIC: Roman Krznaric is a public philosopher who writes about the power of ideas to change society.

It is an age-old question: can we learn from history? Yes! says distinguished political scientist Roman Krznaric in his new book, which looks at the past for inspiration for building a better future. From striking low-caste women in Kerala to Suffragettes in Great Britain, from the first explosion of capitalism in 17-century Amsterdam to the rise of AI and from Ibn Khaldun to an ancient water authority in Spain, he shows that we are often stuck in a constructed version of history and that the true diversity of different pasts and experiments in living throughout the ages and the continents hold lessons we will need for our survival. A fascinating account.
Populaire filosoof Roman Krznaric, bekend van De goede voorouder, laat zien hoe lessen uit het verleden onze helpen bij het vormgeven van de toekomst. Uitgegeven door Ten Have Spreker: Justus van Dillen
Close your eyes. Imagine a young person you know and care about. Picture them at age 90. And then think about the kind of world you want to leave them. Is it ridden by conflict and chaos? Or is it peaceful and habitable? Such thought experiments can lead us to change behaviour and priorities. But they also have wider application to government and policymaking, says social philosopher Roman Krznaric who wrote The Good Ancestor and is Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University's Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing. Roman's thinking has become part of a push to get governments and leaders to make better policy choices by taking a far longer perspective. That push seems to be bearing fruit. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen may create a portfolio for intergenerational fairness for her next five-year term, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres seems set to appoint a Special Envoy for Future Generations at a summit this month in New York. But how a focus on future generations works in practice raises thorny questions, among them: how many generations of descendants should we plan for, and over what time spans? And how can the focus on future generations be kept separate from controversial ideas like Longtermism and Effective Altruism that are associated with jailed cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried? Also in this episode: Roman introduces his new book History for Tomorrow in which he explores the role of so-called radical flank movements, like Extinction Rebellion. "It's too late to leave the problems of our time to simmer on the low flame of gradualism," he says. "You need the disruptive movements to accelerate things."

There's a lot of talk right now about future generations. Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission says she'll create a portfolio with responsibilities for intergenerational fairness. A Summit of the Future to be held in September at the United Nations also helps explain the buzz. In this, the first of two episodes, a conversation with Elizabeth Dirth, member of a real-life network for the future described in Kim Stanley Robinson's bestselling novel The Ministry for the Future. In the book the Ministry helps to push nations beyond a series of dystopian events to bring climate change under control. Elizabeth says it's time to move that approach to the real world, and to give future generations a voice in reshaping the economy, curbing disease outbreaks, and sustaining action on climate change. The ZOE Institute, a German economics think tank where Elizabeth is managing director, is among the organisations pushing the UN Secretary General to appoint a Special Envoy for Future Generations, a role Elizabeth describes as "a potential minister for the future at the UN level." Elizabeth says her ideas are markedly different from that of tech titans like Elon Musk who have a penchant for the future. For Musk and his acolytes, protecting future generations means putting resources into highly speculative technologies that could be highly profitable. They also seem to be betting on colonising Mars — ahead of preserving life on Earth. Listen out for Part Two of this series: a conversation with author and philosopher Roman Krznaric on how far into the future we should plan for, and on whether controversial concepts like Longtermism and Effective altruism have a role to play.

This episode publishes on the hundredth anniversary of Colin Ward! Colin was one of the popularizers of many of the ideas featured in this podcast, and I've stayed away from covering him for fear of copying him. But my guest today, Roman Krznaric, convinced me to do an episode on Colin's thought, and we had a thrilling conversation about anarchy, city planning, protest, and Kim Stanley Robinson.I highly recommend Colin's book Anarchy in Action from PM Press: https://www.pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=814Here's Roman's website for more from him: https://www.romankrznaric.com/
Series FourThis episode of The New Abnormal features the leading social philosopher Roman Krznaric, whose books focus on the power of ideas to create change. His international bestsellers, which include The Good Ancestor, Empathy, and Carpe Diem Regained, have been published in more than twenty-five languages. His new book History for Tomorrow is out now, and in it he unearths fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1000 years of world history that could help us confront the most urgent challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. Roman believes that history offers a vision of radical hope that could turn out to be our most vital tool for surviving and thriving in the turbulent decades ahead. We therefore discuss a wide range of viewpoints that he illuminates in a suitably dynamic manner. I found it to be a fascinating conversation, and hope you will too!

From the personal to the political and the universal, sculpture past and present has often reflected on identity, the human condition and societal changes. Exploring the multifaceted languages of contemporary sculpture, this panel discussion will consider innovative investigations of form and matter, and how other disciplines may inform and enrich sculptural practice, whether through the collision of art and science, conjuring up literary influences or looking down the lens of history. In reflecting on the challenges of our times, sculpture invites us to think about our shared experience. This, perhaps, may encourage us to think long term in a short-term world, or, as philosopher Roman Krznaric invites us to, be ‘good ancestors'. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Hello members and subscribers! The ninth Moonshots Master episode is here and we are diving into Critical Thinking and SECOND ORDER THINKING!Helping set the scene for Second Order Thinking we think it only right to start with Howard Marks, who explains why if you think the same as everyone else you're not going to be a superior investor. We then have breakdowns, courtesy Yanis from Time Management and Productivity, of both Second Order Thinking and how it influences future actions, as well as Second Order Consequences and how every action has a consequence.Now it's time to truly understand the concept of Second Order Thinking, so we break down some thinking from Roman Krznaric of Big Think, who tells us that it is possible to utilise long term thinking and imagine the future if you retrain your brain. Swedish Investor then breaks down Howard Marks' 3 chapters on risk, and how understand, recognize, and control it. Lastly, we have Taylor Benterud, who creates a great example of second order consequences for us, demonstrating some long-term thinking as a mental model with an agency model example.Helping us adopt the practice and techniques of Second Order Thinking we get introduced to the concept of critical thinking with the TED-Ed channel which help us find the most useful information. We then have Jordan Peterson teaching us how critical thinking and writing are so interconnected. And finally, we have classic Moonshotter Adam Grant who emphasises the power of procrastination, and how it's essential to leave yourself enough time to really think and grow.Our reading list is full of tips, tricks and tools to help you harness your thinking, decision making and Second Order Thinking: The Most Important Thing: Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor, Howard Marks Howard Marks' Second Level Thinking Skills, MindTools Second-Order Thinking: What Smart People Use to Outperform, Farnham Street Second Order Thinking, Noah Pepper on Medium Second Order Thinking: Thinking Practice To Make Better Decisions, TechTello Super Thinking: The Big Book of Mental Models, Gabriel Weinberg and Lauren McCann Thinking, Fast and Slow Paperback, Daniel Kahneman Second-order thinking, UnTools 5 tips to improve your critical thinking, Samantha Agoos Making Better Decisions With Second-Order Thinking, SchoolOfMomentum Dr Jordan B.

My guest this week is Dorie Clark, a consultant and keynote speaker, who teaches executive education at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and Columbia Business School, and she is the author of “The Long Game,” “Entrepreneurial You,” and “Stand Out.” A frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, she consults and speaks for clients including Google, Microsoft, and the World Bank. Dorie's latest book "The Long Game" caught my attention because it touches on themes such as compounding, and not in the traditional financial sense, but compounding of expertise, of brand and of content. It also explores why it is so important and also so hard to play the long game, and how to stay in the game despite the inevitable challenges. We also talk about her business model and how it has evolved over the years. What We Cover: - The Long Game framework for strategic thinking in business and life - What gets in the way of the Long Game and why so few people apply it - The power of compounding and why it's so hard to understand it on a visceral level - What “choosing to to be bad” means and how it affects the Long Game - How to “optimise for interesting” in today's fast-changing world Key Takeaways and Learnings: - There is a consensus that strategic thinking is important, yet there is a big gap in implementation and very few people apply it despite the obvious benefits of playing the Long Game - Preconditions for playing the Long Game are creating more whitespace for strategic thinking, focusing on the right goals and keeping the faith - cultivating persistence and resilience - In our culture, there is a polarity between optimising for money and optimising for passion. Optimising for interesting is a third way that is kinder and healthier for our life and business paths Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode: - “The Long Game: How to be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World” by Dorie Clark https://dorieclark.com/longgame/ - Dorie Clark's website https://dorieclark.com/ - The Long Game Free Self-Assessment https://dorieclark.com/thelonggame/ - Recognized Expert™ Course by Dorie Clark https://learn.dorieclark.com/courses/expert - The Long Now Foundation https://longnow.org/ - “The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short-Term World” by Roman Krznaric https://www.romankrznaric.com/good-ancestor - “Uncommon Service” by Frances Frei and Anne Morriss http://uncommonservice.com/ - “Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain” by Pete Egoscue https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/675597/pain-free-revised-and-updated-second-edition-by-pete-egoscue/ - The Weekly Dish by Andrew Sullivan on Substack https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/ - Common Sense with Bari Weiss on Substack https://bariweiss.substack.com/ - It Bears Mentioning by John McWhorter on Substack https://johnmcwhorter.substack.com/ - Joel Greenblatt: The Common Sense of Long-Term Investing on OutsideVoices https://outsidelens.com/joel-greenblatt-the-common-sense-of-long-term-investing/ - Wade Davis: Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in Today's World on OutsideVoices https://outsidelens.com/wade-davis/ - Chris Rainier and Olivia McKendrick: The Race to Save Cutlural and Intellectual Diversity on OutsideVoices https://outsidelens.com/chris-rainier-olivia-mckendrick-the-race-to-save-cultural-and-intellectual-diversity/ Connect with Mark Bidwell: - LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbidwell/ - Twitter https://twitter.com/markehb
Are we being good ancestors? This thought-provoking question strikes at the heart of what it means to design for the future. What can school leaders do right now, in the present, to ensure that long-term thinking is a pervasive, prominent practice in our schools? How can we overcome the daily short-term pressures of educational settings to take a future-focused approach to teaching, learning, planning, and innovating? And what would schools look like if we modeled seventh-generation leadership in everything we do? In many ways, school leadership is immediate, present-focused work. Leaders must respond to constantly changing daily circumstances, external pressures, and influences. Never has this immediacy been more clear than the past 18 months, when school leaders have had to constantly adapt and react with real urgency to shifting guidelines, precautions, and safety concerns while continuing to provide a valuable educational experience. But all this quick, reactive decision-making can lead us to neglect long-term thinking—the kind of deliberative planning and forecasting that allows us to create sustainable, nurturing systems that will serve not just today's students, but the students of the future.In this episode—in the temporary absence of co-host Tim Fish—Lisa Kay Solomon sits down with Roman Krznaric to dig deeply into the concept of being a “good ancestor.” Roman, a public philosopher, bestselling author, and founder of the world's first empathy museum, explains how the good ancestor framework can be a foundational guiding principle for school leaders. Starting from the place of asking what legacy our present-day decisions will leave for future generations, Roman traces good ancestor thinking from indigenous cultures to present-day innovations in Canada and Japan. He shares how grounding futures thinking in a deep understanding of empathy can lead people to make radically different choices than they would make under other conditions. And he makes the argument that the way we approach strategic planning may not actually be very future-focused at all.Roman challenges us to make the future both real and felt by bringing future generations into the room. He examines embodied practices like role play and costuming as ways to envision the future as part of our present communities. Roman also raises the question of approaching long-term thinking as community-building: Why are we able to expand our ideas about impact to people who live at a geographic distance from us, but not to people who will live in our own locations years from now? How will we be remembered by those future residents, and how can our current decision-making have a positive impact on their lives? Roman makes the case that schools are already inherently a long-term setting, providing educational foundations that will serve students 10 or 20 years down the road. But what innovations might we create if we started to think farther into the future, beyond 20 years, and design our schools for generations ahead? And what potential might we unlock in our students right now by starting to teach them to look up from the instant gratification of their curated worlds, and think about the worlds they want their children to inhabit?Some of the key questions Lisa explores in this interview include:How can school leaders not only take a longer-term view, but communicate that stance clearly to their key stakeholders—parents, the board, alumni, etc.?Although our brains are vulnerable to short-term distractions, The Good Ancestor also makes the case that we're hardwired for long-term thinking. What's the difference between our marshmallow brains and our acorn brains, and how do we train ourselves—and our students—to be more attuned to acorn thinking?How can we practice the kind of long-term, good ancestor thinking that ensures our school community's values are sustained and upheld through future generations? And how does this kind of thinking impact the way we design and plan for priorities like capital campaigns?Can good ancestor thinking help leaders to design truly diverse, collaborative conversations that invite multiple perspectives, rather than designing conversations that subtly seek buy-in to decisions that have already been made?How can we use good ancestor thinking and long-term perspective taking to inform our study of history? Can we begin to teach students to examine events both backward and forward—with consideration for how history informs what is happening in the present, and will inform the future?Resource List:Roman's website: Dive into more of Roman's work, including videos, cartoons, graphics, and resources for expanding your understanding of good ancestor thinking.The Empathy Museum: Explore the world's first empathy museum and the “Mile in your shoes” exhibit.The Man Who Planted Trees: The short story by Jean Giono, which Roman cites as an inspiration for his own work.The David Suzuki Foundation: A future-focused climate sustainability foundation that embodies good ancestor principles.Future Design in Japan: Read more about the municipal planning practice Roman discusses in this episode.Roots of Empathy Curriculum: Get more information about the evidence-based program reducing childhood aggression and increasing social competencies.In This Episode:“What I mean by conceptual emergency around long-term thinking is that I think most of us have picked up newspapers, looked at websites and things, and seen people talking about the incredible short-termism of society, whether it's the fact that our politicians can't see beyond the next election or even the latest tweet, or businesses can't see beyond the quarterly report or a market spike and crash and speculative bubbles.And we're constantly looking at our phones.” (2:17)“Let's not just step into the shoes of people who are maybe voiceless or marginalized in today's world. Let's try and step into the shoes of future generations.” (8:20)“You know, in many ways we know we are the inheritors of very positive legacies from the past, you know, legacies of cities we still live in, or medical discoveries we still benefit from. But we also know we're the inheritors of very negative or destructive legacies, legacies of colonialism and slavery and racism that create deep inequities that must now be repaired, or legacies of economies that are structurally addicted to endless growth and fossil fuels that must now be transformed. And that raises a question. You know, about what are we going to pass on to the next generation, given what we've inherited, which bits do we want to keep and which bits do we want to move on from?” (8:50)“And it's to recognize that, you know, like for me, my 12-year-old daughter could easily be alive in the year 2100, you know, that future isn't science fiction. It's an intimate family fact, and caring about the lives of someone now in the future is kind of what schools are all about, right? Because it's about giving kids something great in their lives today, but also about doing something for their lives into the long future and giving them the tools that they need to survive and thrive in a very uncertain and turbulent world.” (21:11)“A satisfying conversation is one that makes you say things you have never said before.” (32:32)“I think just that question of recognizing who I am as a leader, you know, the definition of a leader, in a way, needs to be inspired by the idea of seventh-generation decision-making. A good leader is one that's thinking seven generations ahead, let's say, as a rule of thumb. And that is a leadership quality that has worked for indigenous peoples for thousands of years, you know, it's a form of ecological stewardship, but the stewardship that a school leader has is also a kind of a social stewardship, you know, about the community they're creating and they're generating and regenerating.” (41:11)Full TranscriptAbout Our Guest:Roman Krznaric is a public philosopher who writes about the power of ideas to change society.

Joel Greenblatt is arguably one of the best investors in the world. He is a Managing Partner at Gotham Asset Management, an investment firm he founded in 1985. He has spent more than two decades teaching at Columbia Business School, and he's the author of five books focused on investment strategy, including "You Can be a Stock Market Genius," "The Little Book that Beats the Market," as well as his most recent book, called "Common Sense: The Investor's guide to Equality, Opportunity and Growth." In this conversation, we talk about what's changed and what remained the same in value investing specifically, and more broadly in investing in general. We also talk about how important it is to keep learning, both from wiser, more experienced and often older people, as well as from the next generation. In addition, we touch on the advantage that individual investors have over professional investors, and our ability to think and act with a long-term perspective. What Is Covered: - How Joel's investing philosophy has evolved over the years - “The Magic Formula”, why it still works, and why it is hard for people to follow it - The value of a long-term perspective in investing, Joel's projects in education and charter schools for kids from low-income and minority communities - How the internet and network effects have changed the world of business, and why we're seeing some of the best businesses that have ever existed Key Takeaways and Learnings: - The importance of accumulating and compounding experience, learning from other people's mistakes, and reading a lot; one of the biggest elements of investing is recognising an outsized opportunity when you see it, and if you see something great, taking advantage of it. - The returns are very noisy; you could go one or two years underperforming the market, and then make a lot of money in year three or four that made up for it. People aren't very patient, especially if they're blindly just following a formula. - Individual investors have an advantage, because they don't have the pressure of their performance being viewed every day, and they can invest and think in private. - At any time, if you get your stuff together, there's an ecosystem outside your current system that will let you learn.
