The War on Sensemaking

What can we trust? Why is the 'information ecology' so damaged, and what would it take to make it healthy? This is a fundamental question, because without good sensemaking, we cannot even begin to act in the world. It is also a central concern in what many are calling the "meaning crisis", because what is meaningful is connected to what is real.

Thriving now means taking responsibility for using the cognitive tools we were all born with to make sense and find meaning. On a daily basis, we’re being asked to discern what’s fact, and what’s fiction.

Perhaps more than any other issue, our age is defined by our inability to agree on a shared foundation of what reality is and how to agree on what’s true about it.
