Seeing lots of calls for “sensemaking” rn. But I’m wondering what doesn’t make sense to people? Pandemics feel weird on social media? US healthcare is shit? Governments can interfere with lives of citizens? Trump re-elected? None of this is new, right?

I feel like it's not so much sensemaking as people finding that change i) happening faster and faster, ii) is being forced upon them and iii) they don't like it. Sensemaking then feels like a comfortable rationalised place to hang without actually having to engage with change.

I guess another way to put it is "give me sensemaking because I don't want to have to develop agency".

Ok, that sounds right to me. I’ll resume my mischievous cackling and investing in the stock market

That's what I'm doing.

Inspiring stuff guys
