"Build A Stronger System”

I’m here in another day of fires and smoke everywhere.

The whole skyline is just covered in smoke here in the Bay Area and it's kind of frightening.

It reminds me of companies that grow so fast,

But then they outgrow the systems that they started with,

And sometimes it's wise for a fast growing company to take a pause on the growth.

Maybe not pause, but slow down the growth long enough that they can quickly rebuild the system underneath them,

So that it's strong enough and the foundation is strong enough to grow to the next level and Beyond.

We're facing the same thing in society with our systems of governing, our systems of advancement and Technology.

We have evolved so rapidly at such an amazing rate and in such an amazing way.

The way things like artificial intelligence and self-driving cars and human longevity and everything that's on the Forefront that way, it's amazing.

But if we're not also taking care of all of the people in our societies,

If we're not also taking care of the environment and the planet in which we live…

Which is giving us direct results of us not taking care of it…

It's showing us that 'hey guys. I think you need to kind of pay attention to me here and take care of this planet that we call home.'

It’s also showing up in the fact that we have a world-shaking pandemic happening right now.

These things are the Earth screaming at us saying 'guys slow down and pay attention and rebuild the systems in which you use for this advancement.’

If we think that we can just continue to pilfer the Earth in the name of profit and advancement,

We just won't be here, we'll frankly be gone in a generation or two tops.

If that's the way we want to go out, fine,

But I would rather be a part of the change and help to rebuild the system.

It's something that each and every one of us need to choose to do consciously both for the planet and and all the people that we share it with.

So, anyway, kind of a rant today,

But it was something that was up as I came out here

And I'm a bit frustrated that because of the smoke and the fires,

I'm not able to go walk in the woods as I normally do.

So I wanted to download that on you.

Let's rebuild the systems so that we can be ready for the next evolution of growth.

Much love. Talk soon.
