#11 - Techistentialism: Trust, Agency, and Decision-Making in Tech Acceleration
🎙️ With Roger Spitz – Foresight Strategist, Techistentialist & President of the Disruptive Futures Institute
Summary
In this episode of the in-between trust podcast, Eva Simone Lihotzky speaks with Roger Spitz, a global foresight strategist and founder of the Disruptive Futures Institute. Together, they explore the deep relationship between trust, agency, and technology, and why decision-making in complex systems requires more than control.
Roger introduces the concept of techistentialism - a lens through which to understand how humans and algorithms now share the terrain of choice, risk, and consequence. This conversation invites us to rethink the foundations of leadership, the illusion of predictability, and the necessity of awareness, resilience, and anticipatory thinking in an era shaped by disruption.
🔑 Takeaways
Trust is a fundamental need, not a luxury
Agency is the basis for ethical and effective decisions
Technology and human decision-making are inseparable
Awareness of complexity changes how we lead and respond
Anticipatory thinking is essential for navigating uncertainty
Control is incompatible with complex systems
Antifragility allows organizations to benefit from shocks
Agility enables more resilient leadership and communication
AI can enhance trust — if used in the right contexts
Delegating decisions to machines can erode human capacity
🎙️ Sound Bites
