Summary
Following up last week’s Frankly outlining systemic themes for 2024, this year-end special is a reflection on 2023 with a series of clips, which together highlight the increasingly challenging world of which we are a part. From global heating and financial turmoil to rising geopolitical tensions and disruptive technological breakthroughs, The Great Simplification has been host to a wide range of critical conversations with scientists, leaders, and thinkers to dig deep into the science and insights into the increasingly chaotic world around us. Though each podcast and guest is unique, viewing these clips together reveals why we must take a systems view in our response to the human predicament.
