We can move from a "gotcha culture" to a "I got you" society. It is not going to be easy for any of us...but we can do it. It is the only way we make it to the other side. @ladygaga modeling the behavior and heart of the how.

Our moral obligation is to act to the benefit of the long-term futures. In Longpath you’ll find science+wisdom tradition based practices that ⬆️ your “transgenerational empathy”- a key pillar of the Longpath mindset. This ⬆️ is foundational for right-relation to our descendants.

1. A disaster
Before Covid-19 landed in East Africa, a wave of locusts was ravaging East Africa
But now another wave of locusts, 20 times the size of the previous one, is headed to East Africa
And due to Covid-19, people are left virtually defenseless

This was a really fun and fascinating conversation with @PeteButtigieg. An excellent mind and heart truly focused on how we move forward together…
Meeting the biggest challenges of this century will require more cooperation and connection than ever.
Watch my conversation with @AriW and his new @PBS docu-series #ABriefHistoryOfTheFuture about ideas shaping our world—today and in the decades to come.

Plant trees whose shade you will never know AND work on ensuring everyone has food to eat today. That is how we move forward. That is how we make it to a better place. Not utopia, but a place better than we found it. Doesn’t happen overnight but it’s all we got.

Haven’t stopped diving through this inaugural issue since it came out. So good. Won’t recommend articles because it’s really a cover-to-cover read.
The @berggruenInst presents @NoemaMag: In ancient Greek, noēma means “the object of thought.” And that is our intention: to delve deeper into the issues, at greater length and with more historical and social context. We invite you to join us us: noemamag.com

To be fair this occurs for almost every presidential visit going back 15+ years. You need a main route and several secure back-up routes (and this area in question is hemmed in by river and hills). These routes include egress to JFK as well as to a local trauma 1 hospital.

Goes back to teaching critical thinking and scientific method at an early age. On one hand we need a longpath approach (trans generational) and more acutely we need to uphold/heroism those that propel critical thinking in the public sphere.
