Digdeep Podcast: Armin Nassehi, How Does Social Transformation Succeed?

In this episode of #digdeep, the sociologist Armin Nassehi declares, how social transformation succeeds.

He discusses, why social changes are often not implemented despite clear goals and great urgency and explains this with a collective transformation fatigue, which is not an individual failure, but is rooted in the structures of modern societies.

A central point is the distinction between organizations that function through clear control logics and societies that cannot be managed according to the same principles. According to Nassehi, real transformation comes less through large political gestures or moral appeals than through laborious, small-scale negotiation processes and cooperation between different actors.

Finally, AI is classified as a profound media disruption that questions classic ideas about expertise and requires new forms of competent handling of knowledge.
