An Existential Trialogue!

Talking with a friend, a '20s-something friend, the subject of retirement came up... "Now that you're in the workforce, having finally graduated from college, how do you approach the subject of saving for retirement?" His answer surprised me, and got me to thinking. It went something like this: "My concerns are more existential than that. Like, by the time I might be ready to retire, will the Earth even be able to support human life? Retirement is not really that much of a concern for me." Wow! This is big!! And, so, the conversation began. How do we understand the crisis of existence on planet Earth-- its nature, roots, solutions -- and how might we engage with others in conversations that are positive, energizing, and actually might help to move the needle forward. Please join me as, in conversation, we go deep on a number of paradigm-shifting perspectives to fundamental questions regarding the present state and future of this mysteriously intelligent and beautiful planet.
