Carol, I do agree, and greatly admire your skill in presenting some difficult concepts (well, the concepts aren't that difficult, really, if you aren't cemented into the current structure). With a strong background in journalism and communication, I struggle with how we get these ideas to a public that is surely wanting solutions, but will not have the patience, or even ability, to grasp what you (and so many others) are saying. How can we simplify so that it becomes useful to the

people we want to reach?

You cannot simply the concepts without losing meaning. You don't move the concepts to wha people can currently understand. Move peoples capability up so they have mind that can grasp it. We are not building that capability and dumbing everything DONE to current abilenss and then it is useless.

It takes develop a systems mind. Cannot be conveyed by 'telling' them. Only by engaging which is why I run communities that people join for a longtime and work at it. I have hundreds who do join them. And help spread the community idea. Can't do with journalism, only with development workshops longingly. https://seed-communities.com/change-agents/
