The following submission statement was provided by /u/MediocreAct6546:

How do we hold both urgency and patience simultaneously? This is the fundamental question. We need to act right now to deal with the global polycrisis, but transformative change takes time. The best solutions emerge from deep thinking, long-term observation, and collective, iterative progress. The future is extremely uncertain, but one thing is for sure, it's set to go in a particular direction without action.
