This piece really made me think about how, even for someone who loves AI and algorithms, it's so clear that the 'metacrisis' you describe demands a focus on human qualities like empathy and shared values, not just as alternativs, but as the very fondation for designing any tech that truly helps global cooperation.
I agree. The metacrisis cannot be met by accelerating techno-solutionism alone. Without grounding in inner development, drawing on collective worldviews and wisdom, and centering human connection, even our most powerful tools are likely to amplify fragmentation rather than help us navigate complexity together. The real challenge is not just building better technologies, but cultivating the human capacities that guide how and why those technologies are created and used.
