Episode notes

The next 22 episodes of this podcast are either recorded or scheduled and it's a wide variety of excellent guests on topics relevant to the human predicament. So I don't really know what I'm trying to say here other than I think equality is unlikely to be attained in coming decades, but we will when there's a financial recalibration. There will be more equality, but we'll all be poor from a biophysical standpoint. While that's all going on, I actually think we need more kindness and more empathy because the world is a big place.

Description

In this Frankly, Nate reflects on the varying perspectives from which people perceive the meta-crisis relative to their own circumstances. This extends to the countries we live in and the particular economic/social situations we are part of. But each of these is part of a wider systems lens that we should at least keep in mind and respect - even if it doesn’t feel like our central cause. The challenging times ahead will have huge implications for the social progress of the last few centuries on local, national, and international levels. There will never be one solution to such grand scale problems. As we work on responding to these challenges, keeping in mind the scope and complexity of these issues might allow us to approach them from a place of empathy and compassion.
