Tomorrow is the summer solstice; 2021 will be half over.

At these landmark moments in the year, I always feel compelled to take stock. And this week that intersected with broader reflections: on where we’re at inside modernity, and where we’re heading.

My feeling? We’re only just getting started.

Hit play!

I am never going to get tired of reading about Walt Disney’s concerns that 1923 was too late to get into animation business.

Spread the word

Thanks for listening this week.

There are some special New World Same Humans projects in the lab that I can’t wait to share with you.

In the meantime, if this week’s instalment resonated with you, why not consider spreading the word about our community? You could forward the email to someone who’d also enjoy it. Or share across one of your social networks. Remember: the larger and more diverse the NWSH community becomes, the better for all of us.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with New Week Same Humans. Until then, be well,

David.
