Great explainer video! As a practitioner, I find this very accessible and captures the breadth of system practice. I appreciate the upfront acknowledgment of the English language and the colonial nature of the discourse. Language often shapes how we think, our worldviews, and ultimately our actions. Hope to see more exploration and deep dive in the future :D
