Greetings, followers of the Great Simplification podcast.

We have a great lineup in coming weeks, including Ecological Economist Josh Farley,

Greenpeace co-founder Rex Weiler, Paul Ehrlich, Jamie Weill, Dennis Meadows, and others.

This week, however, instead of a podcast, we're releasing the first in a five-part series of animated videos explaining the Great Simplification.

You can find this video embedded on the main landing page of the Great Simplification.com or on the new video tab on the website.

A lot of work went into these videos, and I learned that putting art and music to scientific

concepts can result in quite a different emotional and educational arc.

I hope you enjoy the first video in the series.

This one's called Energy Blind.

And next week, we're back to podcast with my friend and colleague Josh Farley talking about the evolution of cooperation in humans.

Thank you.
