@previous (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC) > It's a shame you didn't start the thread with the coconut tree blurb
Good one!
"But it's also about what is the culture of the environment? How are we approaching this issue in a way that we also understand we cannot support and help our young people if we also... don't also look at the context in which those young people... live and are being raised, which means necessarily because our... our edict and our mission is not to come out and say, 'Well we could do this better'. Part of the extension of the work you will do is, yes, focused on our young leaders and our young people. But understanding we also then have to be clear about the needs of their parents, and their grandparents, and their teachers, and their communities. Cos none of us just live in a silo. Everything is in context. My mother used to... she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, 'I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?' [cackle] You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you. So all of this is part of the work of this group of extraordinary leaders, who will help inform and advise how we think about our work. And like the secretary said, 'Give us feedback, give us council, give us direction in how we best achieve our mission'... Doing it in a way that we fully understand the challenges and the opportunities."

Let's not forget K's love of Venn diagrams:
"Remember Venn diagrams... [gesticulates] Those 3 circles, right? And then let's just see where they overlap..."
"You will not be surprised, cos I have constructed a Venn diagram on this, remember those 3 circles, how they overlap?"
"I love Venn diagrams, so [giggle] I just do! Whenever you're dealing with conflict, pull out a Venn diagram, right, and so, you know the 3 circles? [giggle]"

Kamala is woke:
"You know, we have to stay woke, like everybody needs to be woke [snigger] [giggle] and you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke [cackle] whatever."
"There are some real silver linings about what this moment in time has done to, to maybe, um, cause a lot of us to be woke [giggle] and I love it, I love it! Folks are woke, and I love it. I love it.
