Building
shared understanding
Hunome is for humans,
by humans, and about humans.
Hunome is a unique platform designed to foster a multidimensional understanding about the intricate issues that shape our world.
The art of shared understanding
The challenge for all of us who seek a deeper and broader understanding is this: How do we navigate the ambiguity of information, the noise of opinions, and competing interests, and trust that the conclusions we draw are the best or right ones?
Why do we need
multidimensional understanding?
In a world of complexity, simple answers are rare. Emerging challenges only compound this complexity and increase our uncertainty. Thinking often remains confined within isolated disciplinary, economic, cultural, and geographic silos, resulting in tunnel vision and fragmentation.
We need a new approach—one that is transparent and inclusive, facilitating interaction among diverse perspectives, expertise, and contexts. We think robust sensemaking is an inherently collective and emergent activity.
Different viewpoints gain strength and meaning when interacting and evolving alongside other perspectives. This helps us all see the bigger picture, the larger systems at play, not just the tiny parts we are fixated on.
Why do we need to consider multiple ways of knowing?
Our ways of understanding are diverse, yet few environments acknowledge or appreciate all forms of knowledge equally.
Hunome recognizes 16 different "knowtypes." These encompass knowledge derived from experience, research, observation, intuition, aesthetics, and creative exploration. We cherish each type for its distinct role in enhancing our shared understanding.
At Hunome, how we share our ideas with other people, matters
Opinions and anger flood social media platforms, stirring up discord in comments filled with abuse and discontent. This maddening rage seldom leads to positive or insightful understanding. Worse, it perpetuates a culture of negativity and polarization in public communications. What's become of empathy, meaningful dialogue, and a genuine openness to other people's perspectives?
How we interact with each other is integral to building shared understanding. The platform is designed for contextual and humanized exchange of ideas so that each of us feels validated, listened to, and secure in expressing ourselves—nurturing an environment of trust and mutual respect.
