In this episode, curator of the world’s most extensive mind map Jerry Michalski joins us to talk about how we as a society can contribute to the public commons in a positive way and why we must.

Jerry shares the mission behind his distinguished idea of creating a second brain! He has been working on this brain map for more than 24 years and has introduced almost 500 THOUSAND THOUGHTS in his brain and keeps it up!

We dive deep into how he created this system that gives access to tons of knowledge collected and connected in context, the importance of having a deep curation and scaffolding process, several possible roles for AI in this procedure and why having shared common knowledge is crucial for a better and more just future for us all.

“If we could slowly build arguments and add evidence we might govern better”

Additionally Jerry shares why lesser accessed links tend to gradually clear out of google search, how to make spam disappear from the internet and all about his dislike about the word “consumer” and designing from trust.
