089 with Social Impact Investor and Organizational Strategist Daniel T. Matalon - The World Game

"Daniel Matalon is the founder of #IsThereEnough, a provocative new conversation about the intersection of survival economics and social justice. He is also the co-founder of Impact Launchpad, a UK-based venture studio for social impact incubation and development. Working from a book, a conversation, and a unique social research experiment that has taken him to 22 countries, Mr. Matalon is asserting that humanity’s biggest existential threat is not climate change, tribalism, or inequality but our inability to make agreement with each other at the level we require to address our challenges. His upcoming title, The First Agreement, is a historical and future-leaning look at economics, scarcity, and survival, that suggests that our drivers of incentive can be measurably built around human beings at the center of our economies, rather than the assets and resources we measure them by today." In this episode, Daniel and I discuss what he's adding new to The Conversation, Buckminster Fuller, our warlike conversation type, the most surprising response to the question of "isthereenough?", power, war, common identity, laws and agreement, suffering, the IDW, conversations on Clubhouse, economic values, global citizens, those who want to make a difference, personal transformation, the life that lives within conversation, the last treaty humanity will ever need to sign, a decentralized approach to self-government, collaboration, awareness, taking care of humanity as a way of taking care of the planet, building a world game not a world order, making the world work, hopefulness and much more.
