New #Heliox Season 5 finale: The Architecture of Understanding
This isn't about collapse. It's about reconstruction.

Why understanding our cognitive boundaries becomes our greatest strength:
• London cabbies
+ Marshallese navigators work WITH seven-dimensional minds
• Trust biology outperforms extraction economics (84% prediction accuracy!)
• Canadian policy choosing resilience: Build Canada Homes, ASHRAE 241 ($30B value)
• AI ethics frameworks honoring human creativity
• 75 countries translating research into real change

52 minutes synthesizing neuroscience, economics, climate science, AI governance into empowering framework.
