Description
In this Frankly, Nate shares insights on his personal/organizational priorities as a lead up to outlining 7 global interventions that he sees as being most impactful in preparing for a resource constrained future. As global stability deteriorates and the various macro-crises converge, how we invest our time and resources now can have a big impact for the various scenarios coming our way. Can we as individuals and communities place health and wellness at the forefront of our responses - which would in turn leverage many other higher impact initiatives? What would healthy humans surrounded by community and a shared purpose, informed by the ecological systems synthesis be able to accomplish?

| 0:00.0 | Greetings. Time for a frankly, and here is Frank. Frank got in a fight the other day with Murphy, |
| 0:09.5 | and he got the worse of it, so he likes to sit on Daddy's lap. I am back from six weeks in India, |
| 0:18.5 | and I am partially back from two weeks of COVID. |
| 0:23.7 | So while I was in India, I had intense clarity about my work, the work of our organization, |
| 0:33.1 | and about what work broader global society, especially Western society, needs to undertake ahead of the great simplification. |
| 0:46.4 | When I do these, frankly, sometimes I have outlines. |
| 0:51.2 | Usually I just riff, and part of this is a test to myself to see if my post-COVID brain can still call up my ideas. I have no notes. Actually, I'll take a picture of what my setup looks like. I'm looking at a camera and you can see that when I have podcast guests, I'm actually not looking at them. I'm looking at the camera. And you can see that when I have podcast guests, I'm actually not looking at them. I'm |
| 1:13.9 | looking at the camera. So here goes. I have increasing confidence that we are at the 11th hour |
| 1:23.8 | globally, culturally, physically, financially, geopolitically in many, many ways. |
| 1:30.8 | And I think there are lots of isolated projects to work on the future that hold everything |
| 1:37.5 | else constant. |
| 1:38.7 | Let's scale lithium batteries and electric cars, holding the rest of the system the same. |
| 1:47.0 | I also think there are many issues that are looking at what we should do 20, 30, 40 years from now that would be sustainable, |
| 1:55.0 | that are missing the choreography and the cliff that lies on the road between here and now. I no longer believe |
| 2:06.9 | there are any non-radical pathways forward. We've kind of baked our cake and are going to have |
| 2:15.4 | to respond to what I refer to as the four horsemen of the 2020s. |
| 2:21.4 | And you could actually include global heating and ecosystem disruption as a fifth horseman |
| 2:27.7 | because it's here, it's growing, and it's going to increase. |
| 2:33.8 | So I especially am worried about Russia, the United States, China, the Middle East. |
| 2:44.3 | Those things keep spiraling outward in a vortex that is unpredictable and chaotic and risk homeostasis and hubris |
| 2:53.9 | rules the day. So I have intense clarity on the work. Let me, the nuggets of wisdom for you |
| 3:03.2 | all will be backloaded on this. Let me first share the clarity I've had for myself. |
