Why We Can Still Avoid Imminent Extinction with Daniel Schmachtenberger

Daniel Schmachtenberger is a philosopher and strategist known for addressing our biggest threat: self destruction. It happened to many civilizations in the past, but this time, with our superpowers (technology, weapons...), it would be global. But there is hope. Here is what we need to do to avoid the catastrophe, for Daniel, who was interviewed during Harvest, in Kaplankaya, in October 2022.

[2:20] - Harvest of The Day: If something easy or simple could be done and would make the world a better place, what would it be for Daniel? See to try to understand other people's perspectives much more deeply, particularly the ones different from your own.

[6:50] - Why technologies always lead to a military purpose, and why we should change our relationship to technology.

[9:57] - We have the capacity to destroy the biosphere, we need to move to trans-evolutionary motives.

[15:22] - Is it naive to think we can have a global government or global governance? We need the "Third Attractor".

[22:00] - What gives hope to Daniel today?

[23:44] - How much time do we have until our extinction?

[27:17] - With so much noise around us and different news, on an individual level, how to react, be aware, and be well informed?

[31:28] - Is Daniel into politics?

[33:00] - What is the impact of homeschooling on Daniel?
