In this second episode of Sane New World, I’m chatting with Jerry about the impact of his discovery of systems thinking in grad school, influences from Russell Ackoff and Alice Miller, the lens through which Jerry viewed the world as the managing editor of Esther Dyson’s newsletter, and how he became a cyborg through 25 years of curating his second brain.

We also talk about the future. How we hope certain developments in tech can lead us to a better path of self-fulfilment, and our shared desire to think about the future of work more as the future of creativity rather than pure productivity.
