## Resource

In this episode Rob Fredette interviews Anne Riley about her theory, the Ideasphere, which connects human ideas to biological systems. They explore how ideas evolve, how social media and AI change speech and accountability, and how human societies could learn from nature’s collaborative rules to address inequality, governance, and global challenges. Riley discusses her background, the book that inspired her, and the practical implications of choosing ideas that support collective survival rather than short-term profit—calling for clearer rules, accountability, and a renewed focus on collaboration.
