xx many thanks for that characteristically illuminating discussion. What I think we've heard this evening, "it's the culture stupid" Which is to say, it's the shared experience; it's the language; it's the hyperbolic discounting. It's the compassion, it's the interconnectedness. Thats what I think we heard tonight.
Wittgensteins observation that there are remarks that sow and remarks that reap. And it is in the spirit sewing but I offer one or two practical announcements before we end. We move from here to a reception at Trinity College. Which, is more or less directly opposite. If, as entrepreneurs, you're allergic to fashion following the crowd, please follow the orange cloud marshals instead.
Those of you attending dinner at Kiva Later this evening will be collected just before eight o'clock from trinity also by orange cloud marshals. I now stand between you and the chance to feel your limbs and talk informally. And I will therefore, be brief. Our thanks to this evening speakers, for so beautifully setting the tone for the forum to come.
No one who has heard what's been said here tonight can fail to see the scale of the opportunity. Know of the crucial influence of our behaviors, our hopes, and our fears. It's precisely because of our behaviors that there is hope. Behavior isn't geology. Our thanks to the evening sponsors and supporters, to you the delegates, to our tireless organizers, Liz Nelson, Paula Kravitz, Alex Nichols, Samantha Beinhacker, Heather Mason and her teammates Caspian, and of course to our exceptional partners at the Skoll Foundation.
I will conclude in the spirit of remarks that sow. This forum is your blank sheet. The world will notice your doodles. Thank you
