The importance of networks and the examples that you've given, Scranton and Ghana and other places is we're such a social species that we take for granted. All this material stuff is correlated to our future wellbeing when in reality, just the networks and building community and daily interaction with other humans. We've kind of lost that in this late capitalistic society. And that is a silver lining that we're going to need that again.
On this episode, Nate is joined by Marty Kearns, a civic organizer and networking specialist. He and Marty discuss why both networks and communities will be critical to the coming challenges we face. How will the social ties we form now influence the outcome of power, peace and new social organization? How can we organize ourselves in order to best meet the future that is coming?
