Fundamentals Series
This is a pre-requisite for all future series and introduces the core concepts.
Total time: 2 hours, 27 minutesIntroduction to Natural Intelligence 101: How to Win the Race Against Insanity
We introduce the series by giving an overview of the situation humanity is in, the common belief about the nature of humanity, and how this audio series will provide a different story about the nature of humanity and what we can do to create a world that makes sense.
Fundamentals 1: What is Natural Intelligence and Why Does it Matter?
We present the idea of “natural intelligence”, what it is, and why it matters.
Fundamentals 2: Why The Concept Natural Intelligence is Important
We go into why the concept of natural intelligence is important in allowing us to name and point at something fundamental that humans need to restore and enhance.
Fundamentals 3: Our True Nature is Better Than We Think It Is
We present the argument that our true nature is better than we think it is.
Fundamentals 4: Should What We Know About Natural Intelligence Give Us Hope?
We talk about how the message of this series is one of hope.
Fundamentals 5: Evidence for an Unnatural Mode of Cognition
We talk about how we know there is a natural mode of cognition by describing evidence for an unnatural mode of cognition.
Fundamentals 6: The Human Coordination Problem
We go into more about the nature of the human coordination problem, the problem of coordinating with each other and with our environment, and how natural intelligence is the solution.
Fundamentals 7: Natural Intelligence Failure Modes - Part 1
We continue to explore mechanisms of how our cognitive system can be hijacked, leading to a breakdown and failure of natural intelligence.
Fundamentals 8: Natural Intelligence Failure Modes - Part 2
We explore the core vulnerability of our cognitive system that allows for our natural intelligence to fail.
Fundamentals 9: The Power of Natural Intelligence
We go into the power of natural intelligence, how it relies on processes we've come to devalue, and how natural intelligence is far superior to the intelligence and way of thinking we're accustomed to.
Fundamentals 10: How We Devalued Natural Intelligence and Shaped Our Modern World
We explore the history of how we came to devalue what we need for natural intelligence and how this shaped Western culture and the world we live in today.
Fundamentals 11: The Direct Experiences of Natural Intelligence Break Down and How We Respond
We connect how the breakdown of our natural intelligence explains much of our personal, direct experiences in life, and describe the fundamental flaw with the solutions and responses we've come up with to address the effects of a breakdown of natural intelligence.
Fundamentals 12: What Would We Need to Restore Natural Intelligence and Win the Race Against Insanity?
We explore what it would look like to restore natural intelligence, how we would know if a solution was successful, and how the Inqwire project has successfully produced a solution that meets the required constraints and restores natural intelligence for users.
