Existential Hope

From Open Source Ecology

Existential hope is a thing. Foresight Institute (https://foresight.org/technologies/foresight-existential-hope/) is working on it. Foresight is a sensemaking, futurist, mid-course correction, appropriate technology, metacrisis, existentical hope institution. Check out discussion with Beatrice Erkers - https://www.existentialhope.com/team/beatrice-erkers. They have a Fellowship that covers Existential Hope, and Open Source Ecology work may fit in that paradigm. Check out their library - "From Existential Angst to Existential Hope" - https://www.existentialhope.com/existential-risk-existential-hope. And "Meta-Tools for Progress" - https://www.existentialhope.com/meta-tools-for-progress-intro. Definitely big picture thinking.

The OSE opinion is that social technology is more important. At a time of exploding hardware tech and retarded social tech - namely the lack of a collaborative abundance mindset - the key threat to society is not technology but humanity's incapacity to steward this technology properly. Stewarding technology properly is more of a personal development issue, less of a technology issue.
