This audiobook explores the dangers of a broken sensemaking and information ecology in a time between worlds and time between stories. We are faced with two bad alternatives: to blindly dismiss all conspiracy theories or to blindly buy into all their claims. Both are wrong choices.
The proliferation of conspiracy theories themselves is rooted in the broken sensemaking and polluted information ecology that is one of the demarcating features of our time.
It’s in this fertile ground of void without value that the contrived versions of the conspiracy theories flourish.
The collapse of plotlines, the loss of true north, and the belief that value is a fiction leave a void of Eros, which is always covered over with pseudo-eros.
False conspiracy is a form of pseudo-eros that we use to fill the emptiness that comes when we are disconnected from the narrative arc of value and intimacy.
Our response must be to tell a new Story of Value based on valid First Principles and First Values, rooted in the scientific realization that the Universe is a Love Story. In a healthy sensemaking ecology, we must again find the real conspiracy—the great conspiring, the great breathing together, of Reality that happens at all levels, animated by Outrageous Love.
