Spotlight — What Is Humane Technology?

“The fundamental problem of humanity is that we have paleolithic
emotions, medieval institutions, and God-like technology.” — E.
O. Wilson.


More than ever, we need the wisdom to match the power of our
God-like technology. Yet, technology is both eroding our ability
to make sense of the world, and increasing the complexity of the
issues we face. The gap between our sense-making ability and
issue complexity is what we call the “wisdom gap." 


How do we develop the wisdom we need to responsibly steward our
God-like technology?


This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're introducing one way
Center for Humane Technology is attempting to close the wisdom
gap —through our new online course, Foundations of Humane
Technology. In this bonus episode, Tristan Harris
describes the wisdom gap we're attempting to close, and our
Co-Founder and Executive Director Randima Fernando talks about
the course itself.
