About this episode
In this episode, Jamais Cascio will help us understand how to use the BANI framework to process and evaluate disaster level situations in a meaningful and constructive way.
Jamais writes an article for Mindplex explaining BANI (Brittle Anxious Non-linear Incomprehensible) in greater detail here:
https://magazine.mindplex.ai/bani-and-the-participatory-panopticon/
Jamais created the BANI framework in 2018. “BANI” comes from:
Brittle;
Anxious;
Nonlinear; and
Incomprehensible.
Jamais created this framework from these four concepts to give us better language for the ways in which the world today seems to be falling apart. It’s a taxonomy of chaos to help our brains sort through the noise… without freaking out. It's the “freaking out” part we're trying to skip, so we can have productive conversations about psychologically-challenging topics.
About Jamais Cascio:
