Social Scientists - Weltschmerz & Global Anxiety Insights

Ok, but for real - how tired are we? I think about the German word Weltschmerz a lot. Hurting for the world. Ours is changing so fast that we don't have time to process it. Or grieve the version of future we will never see. Between AI, the environment, global unrest and tanking economies all over: I want to hear from the social scientists. What's going on? Can you help us understand? I want to hear from environmental scientists. What are you talking about with your colleagues? What can we support that makes the biggest difference? I want to hear from the computational scientists. What's the deal with AI? You're the ones that understand the mechanisms underneath the monster we've created. I want to hear from literature and communication scientists: What undercurrents are you seeing? Listen and report back what's being said between the lines. We have this platform - now let's hear it from the people who can help us understand the chaos we live in.
