Greetings. Many of the listeners of this show often ask, what do we do? What to do? And I'm trying to set the table of the

constraints and challenges that our culture, our biosphere, our species face, which seem to be getting larger and thornier and matter by the day,

but that I don't have the answers or the solutions or the responses.

And I believe in emergence.

And I believe that many of the things that we will do that scale in the future are unknown

yet and untried.

And I also believe that understanding and caring about the future kind of infuses us with the ability

to beat new paths forward through the times that

we're alive. As such, this is a special episode, a special request where I'm going to invite

you, the viewer of the Great Simplification, to submit a short video up to three minutes, but preferably

shorter, about what you're doing in response to what you've learned on this channel.

I have several reasons for doing that.

One is I'd like to create a montage of 30 or 40 of those to make a special episode, maybe an hour and a half episode,

that gives you the sense of the different nationalities and ages and races and creeds

and ideas and frameworks and actually what people are doing on the ground around the world to show

the diversity of humanity that's following this show, paying attention and responding. Because I know

that's the case and I would like to highlight that. Secondly, is I think humans are imitators. We're

mimickers. And so to see a wide spectrum of what people are doing might give you all,

I can do that in Topeka, Kansas or Ipsolante, Michigan, or Wellington, New Zealand.

So it's giving people a sense of possibility of what can be done.

And third, if it really takes off and we get tons of submissions,

I may craft a dedicated open source website to the horizontal and vertical
