🙌most excellent conversation Denise & Eric, thank you🙏

Great to be in conversation with @ericries.bsky.social last week at @longnow.org for the first stop on his Incorruptible book tour! There‘a a not-so-quiet revolution underway — companies embedding their values through economic and legal structures that advance human flourishing.

Indy Johar: Civilizational Optioneering Launched by Stewart Brand in 02003, Long Now Talks has invited more than 400 leading thinkers to share their civilization-scale ideas.

Love the waxing and waning slivers - new moon tomorrow 🌑

This morning's shy moon. People get all excited about seeing transients like eclipses but forget that astonishing beauty like this appears every day over their heads if they would just look up.

Have you seen the documentary film about Joe?

Loved his wonderful spirit🙏
