Dave, thank you for all of this. I need some time to think and process it, but it's helpful for me to know and begin to make sense of.

That makes a lot of sense. Maybe what we need to give people is each other? Maybe instead of a panel, we help people connect with and learn from each other? Maybe panelists can share some info, but then we allow space for people to grieve, rage, be terrified with each other?
I'm thinking more about this tweet. I don't think it's *us* that needs to engage in a deeply personal way, but *everyone* who is willing. I think we can invite people in to do this in a welcoming, warm way.https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1227762638110642176 …

Otherwise, panels aren't fair to the people on them OR to the audience. And they're just not effective either. Because the panelists are giving all this super fucking hard information, and yet the audience isn't able to *process* it. They just suck it up and don't know what to do

I think this has been true for quite a while, and it's interesting to watch recent events in NYC, where the level of bottled-up anxiety is high, and people attend talks looking for absolution.
