Ask Me Anything - Your Questions About TGS Answered
Frankly #70
The content of The Great Simplification (on Youtube and in real life) can be complex, nuanced and multi-faceted. In today’s Frankly, I offer reflections on a selection of viewers’ direct questions about the myriad topics covered on this channel.
The goal of this podcast is to integrate the head, the heart and the hands by building a generative conversation between many more humans. The learning process about upcoming constraints and opportunities will continue to be interactive and ongoing. By offering insightful responses to questions both personal and professional, this Frankly (and future AMAs) directly engages our online community to better understand the nuances of the reality we face and what might be some realistic pathways ahead.
What exactly is the relationship between energy and economic growth? What have I learned over the last 2.5 years of podcast recordings and what could be done differently? How might we better organize our infrastructure, communities and local politics to prepare for the upcoming Great Simplification? And of course, the question you’ve all been asking yourselves… How are my ducks??
In case you missed it…
This week, I was joined by global ecologist Corey Bradshaw to discuss his recent research on the rapid decline in biodiversity, how population and demographics will change in the coming decades, and what both of these will mean for complex global economies currently reliant on a stable environment.

If only things could be simple. ;)
Cheers for engaging with the people, Nate!
I am wondering why so few reads. Hopefully more folks will tune in. I hope they don't wait until there's a crisis. Unfortunately I think that's what it's going to take for the earth's various populations to become aware.
I'm in Western Australia and SO pleased to have found your YouTube channel.
Thank you.
