Episode notes

For those that know me and have followed my ruminations for the last decade or so you know that I deeply care about and resonate with dogs. Just seeing them living in the moment jumping in the weeds chasing a squirrel, swimming,. playing with toys, chasing each other around the yard to get a toy. It never ceases to bring a smile especially when they interact with other species like the the chickens or the cats.

On this very personal Frankly, Nate speaks from the heart about ten things which bring him joy and, despite the accelerating polycrisis, will likely still be available to us even without abundant cheap energy. This message - really - is at the heart of the Great Simplification story. Distinct from intermittent and shallow hits of dopamine from social media “Likes” or shopping or stock investing - joy is a deep, soul-enriching emotion. Can we shift from wearing an economic lens which fears financial loss to opening our hearts and minds to what truly brings us joy? Can we learn - today - to appreciate the joy from the natural world around us, communing with other humans and animals, discovering beauty or sharing knowledge, as we travel through the Great Simplification?
