Episode notes

I would love to highlight what they're doing on conservation and social projects in Africa. But I can't because the public awareness of it would short circuit its own success. It's difficult to have full diversity of voices, which I think is needed in our society. A lot of people are tired of hearing about the problems they want to hear about solutions. The great simplification, which is a financial recalibration, a great depression sort of scenario, but things bend and not break is also the midpoint of my distribution.

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?
