01:06:42	Peter Ottensmeyer: 
C.  David, the word "responsibility" appears occasionally in your talk.

01:07:52	Ted Manning: 
Q.  Many internatonal agencies including U)nited Nations Environment Program (UNEP who administers sustainable development goals (SDGs) has a comprehensive and published state of indicators linked to their goal and also has reporting requirements.   Doesn't this help?

01:08:34	Peter MacKinnon uOttawa Engineering: 
C: David, excellent and provocative presentation. Polycrisis indeed.  
Q: do you see any direct relationship between accountability and integrity?  Thanks.

01:08:52	Ted Manning: 
C.  This is meant to be systematically audited and reported publically.

01:09:45	Vic Buxton: 
Q.  IS NOT THE APPLICATION OF CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE NOT AN AGENT FOR ASSURING ACCOUNTABILITY?

01:10:16	Peter Ottensmeyer: 
C. and Q.  To me accountability is something you demand of others. Responsibility is demanded of "self" or an onus on "self". However, responsibility is nowadays diffused by being parcelled out to  a committee. There no-one is accountable. Can you discuss your concept of the difference between responsibility and accountability?

01:10:19	Phil Reilly: 
Q. I have a question on the role of lawyers.

01:11:55	Hector E. Garcia: 
C.  David, I believe you are referring to Aztecs and not Mayans. 

01:12:48	Bill Pugsley: 
Q.  Doesn't public opinion when mobilized by mass media become a force to confront lack of accountability? Thinking of images on tv that drive public opinion and protests.

01:13:43	Jon Legg: 
Q.  The concept of accountability can apply nationally (e.g., party positi0ns, elections, etc.), but how can it apply internationally?

01:15:47	Hector E. Garcia: 
C.  On accountability necessarily being connected to shame, I believe the optional perspective of holding ourselves accountable (responsibility) is essential to maturity and civilization.

01:18:35	Peter MacKinnon uOttawa Engineering: 
C: David, excellent and provocative presentation.  
Q: Do you see a relationship between accountability and integrity? Thanks

01:32:19	Michael Marien: 
C.  DH asked Who is responsible for the SDGs?  I don't know, but there are two very detailed progress reports (SDSN & DESA) on which countries are making progress on which goals.

01:33:46	Hector E. Garcia: 
C.  I'm reminded of Adam Smith's book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and the motivation behind assigning it by far less attention and relevance than The Wealth of Nations.  That motivation, in my opinion, has much to do with our choice not to be held accountable...not to be aware of how self-deceit undermines our pursuit of progress.  We seem to favor strongly the avoidance of self-restraint and preventing polycrises because, as David mentioned, benefits are less tangible.  It is easier to rationalize not taking the less tangible into consideration.

01:35:16	Dave Dougherty CACOR: 
C.  We have a long history of failing to enforce accountability.  One prime example was the retention of Lieutenant-General Guy Simonds after his decisions resulted in the Black Watch of Canada getting wiped out (315 casualties out of 325 personnel) at the battle of Verrières Ridge in the Normandy Campaign (WWII).

01:36:43	Michael Marien: Jeffrey Sachs, by the way, is President of SDSN (Sustainable Development Solutions Network) which seeks to promote the goals, but not, to my knowledge is officially tasked to do so. However, Sachs appears to take no leadership on the goals, but instead seems off the rails (in my estimation) in recent posts on how NATO has threatened Russia.  Whether true or not, it is an extreme outlier view with no chance of influence.  Sachs' time is better spent in promting the SDGS in the face of two major setbacks (COVID and Ukraine).

01:55:42	Art Hunter: 
Q.  There is also erroneous application of accountability.   Example: wrongfully jailing a suspect or punishment of a whistleblower.  Do you think some people use distorted accountability as a political weapon?

01:56:20	Ruben Nelson: 
C.  Art Hunter will ask the last question

01:58:18	John Hollins: 
Q.  Elected politics is a horrendously demanding and difficult task, especially in this modern technological age when most politicians do not understand the fundamentals.  A new journal may work for thinkers.  Are there ways in which to equip reach decision-makers?

02:18:56	Hector E. Garcia: Thank you for a very interesting discussion, David.

02:19:16	Phil Reilly: 
Q. Promotion of this presentation?
