X : Why so amazing?
Me : It's something @snowded reinforced at Map Camp yesterday. The examples of continuous small efforts in creating momentum to create change in a system. @snowded is always spot on with this stuff.
X : What's that got to do with videos?

X : What's that got to do with videos?
Me : It's not really about videos, it's about art (whether videos or video games or whatever) and it's ability to influence societal values and hence power structures.
X : I don't get that map.
Me : You don't need to. All you need to understand is we change society through art.
X : I don't get that map.
Me : You don't need to. All you need to understand is we change society through art.
X : And?

X : So?
X : So?
Me : We have the tools, the creative talent out there, the communities to effect change. We just need our Wall Street Bets for "society" itself. That coming together of a large body with singular purpose and no leaders but this time around climate change.
X : This sounds ominous.
Me : Changing society through art? It can be. Let us hope we get our Bob Dylan, the bard of our age that crystallises a movement before anything more unpleasant arises.
