I have an image of the spirit of David Bohm hovering at your elbow as you work through those thousands of comments! Thank you for all you and your colleagues do; and the transformational energy you bring to the trask of transformation.

Thanks Matt! It is a huge team effort and we get a lot of from the IPBES Technical Support Unit. I'll hold the image of Bohm as a "pilot wave" guiding me through this process. :-)

I appreciate your words, thank you Karen, they inspire me. You lead by example in advocating for quantum social science even though it is an emerging field that we cannot yet articulate with precision. Even you setting aside the time, in the midst of a large workload, to share your thoughts about communicating, is inspiring. It encourages me to recognise it is worth communicating even our half-formed ideas, as it can inspire confidence in others to embrace similar ideas that have been percolating for them

We should definitely have contact someday! You would like the analysis of my poems, which I wrote to heal from a distributed personality. They follow a pattern, and I linked it to quantum entanglements.
