YouTube video by University of California Television (UCTV) Repairing the World: A Conversation with Paul Farmer

For the day it is-- 3 years on. Give Paul a listen-- this talk from 2014 (25 min talk and 30 min Q&A). www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI5m...

Want to want to know about hope, joy, humanity, tackling enormous problems head-on and succeeding? Then have a listen.

The brilliant teachers who shaped me I was an extremely lucky kid. I was born to great parents who did everything to set me up for success.

I absolutely love this and agree whole-heartedly with Bill.

Well...

Later this month, they will appear in the Museum of Modern Art: press.moma.org/exhibition/p...

‘We’re in a New Era’: How Climate Change Is Supercharging Disasters (Gift Article) Extreme weather events — deadly heat waves, floods, fires and hurricanes — are the consequences of a warming planet, scientists say.

Such a huge opportunity for young people. Immense respect for founders, organisers, sponsors, teachers & parents, and especially these inspiring students and their projects.

."Virtue signalling, taglines and posts crowd out critical thinking and serious discussion surrounding complex and important challenges like the global climate crisis... Progress comes from embracing complexity." Bravo Ryan Gellert @ Patagonia lnkd.in/e6uCxs_U
