Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).

Ocean plastic pollution is a major global concern, with an estimated four million tons entering annually and projected to rise. This widespread issue poses significant threats to marine ecosystems.

Scientists recently discovered a massive load of microplastics, around 12,000 pieces per liter, frozen in Arctic ice. These tiny particles are easily ingested by sea animals, raising fears about harm to marine life and humans.

Tackling this urgent global challenge requires immediate and effective solutions.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the monetary value of all finished goods and services produced within a country's borders, typically calculated annually.

While GDP is often seen as the universal yardstick of progress, economic historian Dirk Philipsen argues that a finite planet cannot sustain its indefinite expansion. He proposes replacing the GDP regime with smarter goals that prioritize quality of life and ethical considerations for future generations.

Philipsen's book, *The Little Big Number*, explores this roadmap. Listen to a related podcast here.

Since 1960, Jane Goodall has been synonymous with wild chimpanzee study, conservation, and advocacy for hope. Her life experiences and the stories she shares are central to her identity, reflecting a scientific curiosity that began in childhood.

In an interview on "Dispatches from The Well," Jane discussed the significance of stories, recounting a childhood memory at age four. She patiently observed a hen laying an egg, an experience she views as foundational to becoming a scientist: asking questions, seeking answers, learning from mistakes, and developing patience.
