 Time out, time out, hey, come here all of you, let's take some time and talk about what we can do better. Have a sip of water. Breathe. You know that thing they do in sports when things don't look too good. Now in real life, we don't have this option. I hear it all the time. We don't have time. We wake up in the morning and off we go. Bus to catch, meetings to attend, bills to pay. We just can't stop the clock. Or could we? What if we start to think about this global pandemic as a time out? We do care about global warming, but pollution, inequality. We just didn't see how we as individuals could do much about it. And the ones who tried, stopped, stepped aside. We're just left behind as all the others kept going. What if this is a unique opportunity to determine what we can do better? And then unite in positive visions to inspire morale. We know now that some of the things we just three months ago believed to be true were not. Three months ago, the economy was stronger than ever. You remember? And then in just four weeks, 10 years of success was gone like that. No, the economy was not strong. That's proof of the op. That's profound vulnerabilities in our system. Time out, we need to do so much better than this system that works for us when we face the next crisis instead of a system that screams for rescue. Three months ago, carbon emission, we're still a growing trend. Even though all the world's scientists have been warning us about the dangers we are facing in the exact same way epidemiologists have told us about a virus pandemic. Yeah, that's not a question of if, but when. So we better change behavior and get prepared. Time out. I mean, in this tunnel, there is light in the end of this tunnel. Most of us will survive this virus, but catastrophic climate change is an existential risk, they say. In that tunnel, there might be no light. How can we flatten the climate curve to make sure that we can adapt to climate change and that it doesn't hit us like this too fast, too hard? Three months ago, we thought these things are impossible to agree on, but now we know that's not true either. It turns out politicians from all sides can agree on big changes and reforms very fast. And yes, it even turns out we can afford to pay for essentials. Three months ago, we couldn't afford better healthcare. And then all of a sudden someone found a gazillion dollars. There is so much we believe to be impossible and then that impossible, you just told us, no, I'm possible. And the good thing is we won't change. You don't wanna go back to the way everything was before this time out. The game wasn't working for us. We have proof of that now. I saw someone posted on Twitter the other day is something like this. It's funny how the world economy is collapsing when everyone is just buying what they need. And sure, that's one way to think about it. But think again, is this all we need? I would argue the opposite. The things in life you are missing right now while in quarantine, while in isolation, that's the definition of this crisis. Oh, wouldn't we love to go to the theater, to maybe meet in a bar before and then after the show, enjoy a meal in a crowded restaurant, be close to people, laugh, hug each other. We are social animals. Isolation was always the worst form of punishment. So let's use this experience for what it is. This is lockdown. This is what we face when we don't listen to science and act before it's too late. If we can't reverse all the other unsustainable trends and do better, then it's not a question of if, but when we will have to stop again and go into lockdown. And then again, again, again. So let's take this time out for what it is. Never again tell me you didn't have time. This is it. A unique opportunity to dream big and change. And then when the clock starts again, we go out there with a whole new attitude and new visions for what we want to achieve in life. Come on out, I know we can do this.
