Summary

Of all the challenges facing our culture, the fact that humans use social sorting mechanisms to solve physical world problems looms as perhaps the greatest. This Frankly is a reflection on the possibility of sharing a socially unpalatable message to a large percentage of citizens and leaders. Our vertical and horizontal social infrastructure isn't built to process, share and address challenges of this magnitude - but instead to ignore, water down, and mitigate. Will the quiet part be spread out loud to large amounts of humans as The Great Simplification becomes more obvious? Or will the quiet part be socially squashed a la George Orwell? Of course I have particular interest in this question, and its resolution. Time is moving very fast…

0:00.0	Greetings, good humans.
0:03.0	Recently, this week, I have a friend who is pushing me to go to Davos in January to speak at the World Economic Forum.
0:15.0	She thinks that the time is now to say the quiet part out loud to elites and the movers and shakers
0:27.0	because the truth that followers of this podcast and my work over the last 15 years
0:35.6	already know is starting to percolate more into
0:40.3	those spheres. And I would like to talk this week's frankly about my reaction to that,
0:50.3	about saying the quiet part out loud on the highest stages of the world. My first reaction was,
1:02.0	I don't want to fly in January to Europe with COVID and passports and airports and airports and
1:10.7	cabs and long lines and not my bed and my dogs.
1:17.0	My second reaction was, this is my cross to bear and I've been connecting this story for 20 years
1:24.9	and I should be passing it up to people that have more influence and
1:31.4	ability to shift the future and that is my role to play. My third reaction was fear because I think there's a lot of well-intentioned humans at these meetings,
1:50.0	but this is kind of the people that will dig in their heels for a massive culture change
1:57.0	that I expect is coming.
1:59.4	And I will like them because I like a lot of people once
2:03.4	I meet them and I will befriend them. And then slowly the essence of my message gets
2:09.6	watered down so that it's palatable for this, that, or the other demographic. So I had that reaction.
2:20.3	But then I thought about what would I say?
2:22.4	What is the quiet part?
2:26.0	And it's pretty simple, isn't it?
2:27.4	We are part of an economic system that is completely based on drawing down ancient sunlight to the tune of 500 billion
2:41.7	plus or minus human labor equivalents.
