Very thorough post - it's encouraging to see a bit of affirmatiion in the dip (although I'm not going anywhere!).
I'm with you on getting the message out there... the question is how to do it as simply and impactfully as possible...
Something I'll be thinking a lot about in coming months.

Our world is one where marketing and 'powermongers' have done a lot already to dumb down our thinking - so I am all for edu-tainment that mixes enlightening education with the entertainment that people are conditioned to seek and think they need. I would love to have time to maybe make animations or computer games to demonstrate the power of the concepts baked into Steem. We need to combine simplicity with the depth of what Steem is and maybe we need some good visual metaphors to make that happen.
I couldn't agree more. \n\nAs a teacher I've always strived to have different depths of resources - \n\n1. Very simple 2-5 min main point blast (often a hook to draw people in)\n2. 5 - 20 min presentation summarising 3-5 main points.\n3. The main text/ audio visual resources that would take an hour to.several hours to read.\n4. Beyond that it's just linking to other resources. \n\nThat way yr dumbing down but providing the opportunity for more depth. Which I think is fine!\n\nAnd yup pretty animations can play a role...
