(00:00) Intro and T-Shirts

(9:39) How should you feel? What has kept you up at night? What has really challenged your strength and courage?

(20:52) Whataboutism. Complexity. Avoiding lazy black and white thinking.

(26:45) Lack of understanding of world systems leads to feelings of hopelessness. Taking stock of progress and triumphs, to gain a sense of perspective. The chaotic nature of exponential change--expect disruption--we don't know how this ends.

(44:43) Breaking down the documentary film "For Sama" an insider's view, and a female perspective on the Russian siege of Aleppo, Syria.

(01:12:14) Standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine who also may soon face the full wrath of the Russian military, just like Aleppo. The left's reflexive rejection of the use of force, even to protect human life and human rights.

(01:21:47) Wrapup and Outro
