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?

Though I can’t view the video I can imagine why brutal honesty also feels encouraging to me... because it shows someone having the courage to face the horror of our present reality head on. That kind of courage inspires me.
It’s almost a relief when someone says how bad it is, completely straight, holds nothing back. Because if we can finally look at it, as fully as we possibly can, then we can face it in a real way. Together.

And that’s what I think I (and many others) find perplexing about people that are on climate panels. It’s like, holy fuck, you are a mere mortal and yet you have found a way to face this horror? How the fuck did you do that? And how can we scale whatever worked for you?

I also appreciate those that don't need to over-state how bad things are or what we know to make a point. It is ok that there is a lot we don't know. But we certainly know enough to know it is very bad already and we're on the wrong path.
