I can understand the loss of hopefulness, but me, I'm pleased that there are places where these conversations are taking place and being able to share helplessness is a starting place to working together to do something together or each in our own world and places. I listened to your podcast about polluting and cleaning up the information ecosystem ... being thoughtful and reflective helps, I think. being aware. We can't always do it (so much ecosystem), but little in between spaces are where things can happen.
