The 4 bodies model by Elif Kus Saillard: In this conversation with Elif Kus Saillard, I learned: 00:00 Intro 04:05 A deep dive into the deepest assumptions. 05:40 This is how the four-body model started. 07:20 The three bodies of Arawana Hayashi: our physical body, the earth body, and the social body. 10:05 The division between science and technology and the research of Federica Russo. 14:00 The contradiction of Elif: seeing technology as a tool and mentioning that technology is empowering. 15:10 The four-body image became clear: technology is the fourth body. Once we create a tool, it will be with us. 18:35 Humans are the only species that can't survive without technology. 18:55 Every time we add a new technology, we are amputating a part of our body. 21:10 All four bodies work in a harmonious way. 23:55 All the historic evidence that we have exists thanks to technology. 24:15 From a discovery in southern Turkey, we found that spirituality existed before agriculture. 26:00 The question is not whether it is new technology or not. The question is how to integrate the new technology. 28:00 In physics, we know now that nothing is solid. 29:30 The social body of a Turkish coffee cup. 32:40 The problem of knowledge and AI is the amputation of complexity. 35:45 We need to cultivate, human first. That is why the Inner Development Goals are important. 39:00 Urgent homework: to space to integrate AI in daily work, be a good model and give back, teach the way that is ethical and good integration. 43:20 We constantly put guilt on the younger generation because they spend a lot of time in the techno body. 43:40 The adolescent time is when the social body is developing. 46:15 Your whole body is good and important, and cultivate all of them. 49:00 Negative thinking [about technology] is a paraliser. Start by acknowledging that technology is beneficial, and then examine the challenges associated with integration. 51:55 The update of the IDG framework in 2025 to make it global. 53:44 The challenge with 22.000 text replies in all kinds of languages. 55:45 Twenty regions/countries were involved in the analysis process. 56:35 First prototyping in Caux at the IDG forum of the IDG framework version 2.
