Another way I might have titled this post: “Why a recent concentration of articles and videos about the higher possibilities of the human experience represents a welcome increase in the quality of the conversation about inevitable change.”
The following material landed in my inbox within the last seven days. Given my professional interests and tendency to oversubscribe it’s not all that surprising that I would receive these things.

A bigger conversation is emerging. Let’s help to move it along.
