Hey Julian, thanks a million for sharing your clear passion and perspectives on this topic. I've been contemplating and living radical philanthropy since 2011 when I received a calling to become an evolutionary and spiritual philanthropist.

I'm a bit more radical than nearly everyone I've come across but you're points in this article are definitely helpful and interesting and I'll be re-reading the article several times.

I'd love to open a regular inquiry and roundtable on "radical philanthropy" if you'd ever be curious to join. I had been thinking about Substack Live for that.

Thanks again for this and please keep up the great and to me, most important work of all.. the power of philanthropy as a world view.

Big ❤️

Bret

This is a transcendent reflection, Julian. I feel deep gratitude to you for naming what is and expressing the emergent in these ways. The work you do and your offerings to humanity now bring to mind the description by Caitlin and John Matthews of the type of character who guided humanity in transitions between ages past.

“These shepherds of the tribe acted as seed bearers; they had no part in politics, nor did they use their charisma to become popular figureheads. They were the poets, storytellers, folk singers, visionaries, and craftspeople who synthesized the inner vision, whose hidden duty was to translate the native wisdom into something more immediately usable.” (From ‘Walkers Between the Worlds’)

Here's to you and all the other poets, storytellers, and creative visionaries who are guiding us through this shift in ages.
