I actually think the basics of clowning are good for anyone. The concept of holding space and attention while remaining present and engaging in two-way silent conversation and making everyone feel like they’re part of the process.

Empathy and kindness in parenting.

The importance of physical media.

The career path of being an online guild leader to meat space manager.

I used to manage player orgs in EvE Online… Its basicly a second job and the paralells are real. One of my former space nerds got a job and IIRC is actually a rental car lot manager, we taught him how to use spreadsheets well over 10 years ago so they could figure out how the games industry mechanics.

Residues of pharmacologically active substances in food of animal origin and the monitoring thereof in national food production.

I’ll start with a joke, “so this guy has been randomly teleported onto a TED talk stage in his underwear…” and then I’d probably talk about how the over prevalence of “easy” in our day to day life has allowed us to become complacent and encourages us to stop fighting the inevitable downfall of life as we see it. All so billionaires can keep existing and we can be doomscrolling without being worried about life outside around the world.

I’d fill the full 30 min.

I would probably start out by speculating about this teleportation stuff worked.

The rest of the time I would descend more and more into what’s wrong with our current society from my view.

Id talk about cranking my hog

AROOOOOO

Why is every cool star Venus?
