Thank you, Nadine. This one seemed like the right one to post today. I grew up in St. Petersburg, which just missed a direct hit from yesterday's hurricane.
Wow Russell, relieved St. Petersburg missed the swath of the storm. I have extended family in Florida and I worry for them. I am hoping they are far enough north to come out unscathed. I am devastated for the folks directly in the path of the storm. Here in Canada, we are beset with forest fires. But I do believe strongly in human innovation and I think the younger generations will be a galvanizing force. I think your manifestos will provide great inspiration.
“For those who can sense it, there’s something in the air again—possibilities are expanding, along with the intelligence and empathy of curious people. Humans are finding out they’re capable of being much more than they ever believed possible.”
This is soooo true, people are yearning for substance, truth, connection, and real problem-solving now more than ever. If we got a global virus under control in 2 years while Spanish Flu and other plagues took so much longer to address, if we’ve got electric cars and ESG initiatives off the ground in less than a decade with the Paris Agreement, of course we can continue to thrive intellectually beyond our wildest possibilities as a society. Call it the humanist in me, but I believe.
Much appreciated, Alisa!
I love this. Let us denounce cruelty and willful ignorance wherever we find it. Thanks Russell.
