Hi Vaughn, I find your writing on meaning-making and AI very insightful and clarifying and agree that meaning-making is a hugely overlooked lens. I am wondering how I may reference some of your thoughts in a PhD application proposal I am writing. Have you published any of this in academic papers?
the foundational thoughts are in the uncertainty mindset, which is from columbia univ press 2020. the current stuff on meaningmaking and not-knowing might become a book but so far is only published on my website and in this newsletter
A book on how to practically navigate not-knowing (that provides the lessons learned as needed versus being focused primarily on communicating theory) would be quite valuable. I do think other formats are needed though for folks to get the full value of this work.
- Interview series to share on YouTube and podcasts (any chance Dwarkesh could be talked into doing this?)
- A cohort-based course similar to the InterIntellect series you facilitated on this topic
- A “choose your own adventure”-style online game that provides a visceral experience of working with not-knowing (even text-based would be intriguing)
