Water is amazing. Artists can have some great insights to share. Cartwheels fill time like nothing else. Dancing is a great equalizer. Straws are weak (in the face of elastics). Hagfish slime is cool. It’s worth thinking about how to change the world. Science, economics, happiness, conflict, the beautiful world itself, and money all have tremendous and difficult to understand roles to play in accomplishing complex positive changes, but through our connected nature and a collective sense of shared responsibility, we might just have a chance.

I extend my thanks to all you speakers, guests, committee members, tech crew members, hospitality staff, and everyone else who help make sharing ideas possible. Good show. Now let’s not relax too long, because the world won’t wait around.
