And we are recording.

Welcome to John Richardson and a Future Naut series six episode three.

You've got it right.

The second clean one ever?

Let's be the judge of that in about 45 minutes time.

Okay.

It was clean last time.

There was one beep, which I put in for comic effect. I like beeps. If you use them right, they're actually funnier than the swear. I think so. Do you want to put one in now? No, you can fuck off. But I had to ask Michael at the production company to remove the explicit little E on the episode. Yeah. There's actually no swearing this one. He was like, my God.

But it's built on the sort of notion that we are a nation of neighbors and on island of strangers. It was really lovely. It's kind of like Tiswas for communities.

It's all streamed live. I was the crystal bald. They draw three tarot cards for the nation.

And then the crystal bald offers insights. What I love about your work, Ed, and all the systems

work you do in in the leadership,

and the thinking about ecology and economic, is the complete seriousness and gravitas

with which you approach it.

I was talking about you two this week.

I thought I was having quite an intelligent conversation, and then I reference the thing
