So true!! The amazing @veronikabond (generous commenter above) just wrote a tremendous piece about the etymology of ‘experience’ and what it means for our understanding and pursuit of it.

Love thinking about the collection of experience as a superpower! 🦹🏻‍♀️

"curiosity and optimism" is what caught my eye. An interesting combination. Somehow Jim Morrison sprang to mind "They got the guns but we got the numbers". All we have to do is stand firm and risk stepping out in mutual support, and change must come for the better.

Yes, Joshua! I love how that combo appealed to you—really foundational to what I believe can move us into a new era of enlightenment (if you’ll allow 🤓). It’s true ‘leadership’ among the masses, actively choosing how we design the future together.
