🗣️ System 3: How conversation changes our minds and what they can do

What if intelligence isn't what we think it is? What if one of the most important technologies for generating intelligence is also one of our oldest? What if you could develop a practice that not only connected you to powerful sources of intelligence, but which could also change your mind and what it is able to do?

Michael Anton Dila is writing a book about System 3, which describes an intelligence that arises from the technology of conversation. He makes the case that just as intelligence has become nearly inescapable in our discourse and daily life, we find that it is something that very few of us understand.

Join us for a conversation about conversation and how it may help us not only better understand intelligence, but to better practice it as well.
