Venture—Beyond the Default

The artist-philosopher and mystic James Lee Byars once said: "To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves."

In this presentation, the wizard Dr. Fox will move you to the edge of knowledge. (And perhaps a smidge beyond.)

The outcome of which will be: greater self-awareness for your own default thinking, deeper capacity to hold diverse perspectives, and renewed curiosity for the future—and how we can remain relevant and apt throughout.

You'll learn:

  • How to distinguish meaningful progress from the delusion of progress
  • How defaults shape your thinking, motivation and behaviour—and how to venture beyond them
  • How to attune to glimmers, weak signals and the magic of emergence
  • How to use quest-augmented strategy to cultivate optionality and antifragility
  • How qualitative sense-making orients you toward enduring relevance

Seize the opportunity to imagine beyond the operational and the immediate. Take the opportunity to quest—beyond the default.
