More complexity, less depth — are we optimising for the wrong outcomes?
We operate in an environment where information is exploding — exponentially — yet our ability to make sense of it hasn’t necessarily scaled with it.
As everything becomes more interconnected, one question becomes unavoidable: ***How do we create value in systems where attention is fragmented and incentives pull us toward shortcuts?***

This conversation explores:

* When does optimising for ourselves also support collective success — and when does it undermine it?
* Why does more knowledge often lead to shallower understanding?
* If incentives shape behaviour, how do we build systems that reward the outcomes we actually want?

We’ll look at real-world environments — product, careers, communities — and examine the small, subtle choices where:

* Long-term creation becomes short-term extraction
* Curiosity becomes compliance
* Depth becomes noise

This isn’t about fixing society. It’s about understanding how systems shape us — and how we can shape them back.

*Please keep your RSVP current.*
