Episode notes

My audience for this is the choir, and those people that follow the bat signal of the great simplification wherever they are in the world. My plan there is to have a reality 101 primer of six or seven or eight hours of short videos that describe the whole thing. It's how the issue of energy and ecological limits affect all the other issues. But that runs the risk of offending people who have their identities or their jobs associated with one issue. And it's not that I don't care about those issues. I'm trying to paint the broader story.

On this Frankly, Nate shares a personal reflection on the challenges of creating and broadcasting content focused on biophysical limits to growth. In a media industry that promotes feel-good content, over-simplified narratives and easy answers, the themes being highlighted on The Great Simplification can be complex, overwhelming, and leave more questions than answers. What should the goals be for these types of content creators? What are the pitfalls? How do the conventional social media rules apply to media that is so outside the norm? Most importantly, what is the best way to maintain credible, helpful, widely accessible, and factual information that can help steer society towards a gentler landing into The Great Simplification?
