These are excellent questions for those who recognize that a worthy future society must be built on the things so absent from this regime - humility, curiosity, relationship, joy and integrity, for a start. Thank you Jed. Worth all of us reflecting on these points.
I'm not seeing the specific reference here, but in general i would use the term "witness" as a light reference to the Christian practice of testifying to one's faith and journey, with in this case it meaning how we show up in the world, how we represent our values in practice, is a form of witnessing to the truth of those values moving from vision and idea to practice and representation in our life. We live our values in terms of how we act on those values in the world.
Something like that? :) Thanks for having me tease that out!
Thanks for your positive feedback! As you know, I believe we each need to sit with these questions (and others to come!) if we are to be sound in our response to the current challenges we all face. We must certainly step up today--but how we choose and are able to step up in this moment differs for each of us! Best to you!

For those not familiar with the terminology would you unpack what you mean by "witness"?
