Back from my trip, I suddenly have a lot to say (and will in long series of upcoming Frankly's).
To begin, in today’s Frankly, I’d like to offer insights on my personal/organizational priorities as a lead up to outlining 7 global interventions that I see as being most impactful in preparing for a resource constrained future.
As global stability deteriorates and the various macro-crises converge, how we invest our time and resources now can have a big impact for the various scenarios coming our way.
Can we as individuals and communities place health and wellness at the forefront of our responses - which would in turn leverage many other higher impact initiatives? What would healthy humans surrounded by community and a shared purpose, informed by the ecological systems synthesis be able to accomplish?
In case you missed it…
Joining me today to share her deep knowledge of the cosmos and how it has shaped her view of humans within it is astrophysicist Sandra Faber. We are the first generation with the ability to truly understand the history of the universe and the extreme bottlenecks that Earth and life as we know it had to endure over the last billions of years. This understanding of where we come from gives us insight into who we are - and could perhaps give purpose to those searching for meaning in the vast universe.
Could a deeper understanding of the cosmos shift our culture towards one that values human’s survival into deep time - and incentivize biophysically and ecologically aligned systems?

Thanks Nate! The Dr. Sandra Faber discussion was an illuminating example of how crossing siloed divides in academia as well as the public’s understanding of our left-brained information silos have kept most of us from using our right brain to see a larger more coherent picture.
