• go meta and teach us about sensemaking itself daniel is a good friend and
• people could learn good sensemaking tools and be able to apply them so i'm just really delighted this
• telling us some of the core principles of sensemaking and how we can maybe apply that to this
• making and the reason we use a term like sensemaking is how do we make sense of the world and reality that we live in
• those are by no means an adequate frame for sensemaking but they are common
• in which the real includes all of those so when we talk about sensemaking we're including all of it
• but it also has limits and so it would be bad sensemaking to use reductionism without
• infer so sensemaking of what's actually going on

• goal and once they realize that a lot of the bad sensemaking comes from psychological predispositions biases
• then psychological work actually becomes part of sensemaking so do you know as much as i might want
• place try to sense make the world and then act from clear sensemaking don't act from those places um
• they can should consider in terms of doing good sensemaking not just starting with the epistemology
• couple videos we did with rebel wisdom they called them the war on sensemaking uh it was
• basically we're here we're sharing tools of sensemaking there we were more sharing tools of propaganda that are
