Hi:
I just got back from visiting Kansas once again with my aunt, and it was good:

I saw storms that looked like tornado spawners (I have been in those before, and it is an unforgettable experience, to say the least), but I was a few hundred miles from Joplin. I got some drenchings from storms while there, and miss them. Seattle merely drizzles for half of the year. With FE, buildings would not be vulnerable to quakes, tornados, tsunamis, and so on, and there would not be many cities, not like those that we see today.
But, in my old age, I do not use "opportunities" like a tornado or drought or other distressing event to talk up FE, especially with "strangers." They are virtually all at Level 0:

and if somebody like me talks to them, nearly all of them end up in Level 1, with the rest scattered from Levels 2 to 5. Once in a great, great while, they may move beyond that, but I have never seen a newcomer land in Level 12. As Ilie stated, those getting to Level 12 almost invariably need to go through at least parts of Levels 7 to 11, and it is understandable. Levels 0 to 11 host 99.9999% or so of humanity today. Trying to reduce that a little…
When I was in a Kansas museum, the resident scientist bent my ear on the archeological and paleontological findings in Kansas, while also lamenting the quick emptying of the Ogallala Aquifer:

which is about 100% depleted under that museum. Once again, the opportunity arose to talk about how with FE, all water issues would vanish almost overnight. But, I just bit my tongue, just like I don't talk about alternative medicine:

I always caution those new to FE about doing so:

FE chat with the public is hazardous duty, not to mention with family, friends, and co-workers. Avalon's denizens have generally overcome most of those early hurdles to comprehension, which is why I am here. :)
Best,
Wade
