They concluded that there is currently no effective song that could become a unifying anthem for the climate change cause, and sent out a call to action for people to write one.
Does permaculture need something similar?

One thing I do think would help reach a wider audience of people would be branching off away from things like "Climate Change". It has become synonymous with Global Warming. It is something that has become so politicized that it is an immediate turn off to a lot of people.
I think Permaculture can and should be independent from other movements, while still having parallel ideas and goals.
Marketing is a great way to promote and spread. I think there is actually a risk of marketing too successfully, to the point that "permaculture" becomes a term that corporations monetize the way they use "natural" or "organic".
I'd really hate to see "permaculture" round-up!
When in doubt, doubt the doubt.

I wonder if somebody famous might happen upon my book, or happen upon rocket mass heaters. Or permies. Or SKIP. Just one bit gets some big-time attention and goes viral, and then all the rest gets attention too. Finally.

So if he embraces utter dedication for the rest of his life, what does he do?

Without knowing the full conversation or person, I see this as a cart before the horse situation.
"What does he do" comes after "utter dedication" and "utter dedication" comes after conviction, which comes after belief, and after understanding or hearing. Sounds to me like the fella doesn't truly believe in what he is or was thinking of dedicating his life to.

I think he wishes to understand the options. And a bit of understanding of where the path goes helps to make concrete decisions on where the path begins.
What does he fill his brain with now to be effective at this task for the next several decades?
(Reminder to myself) God didn't say, "well said, well planned, and well thought out." He said, "well done."

Isaac Newton in 1675 wrote:"If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants"
To create a new city in America that sets a global standard for urban living, expands human potential, and becomes a blueprint for future generations.
The city is committed to instituting a circular materials economy that minimizes the need to extract additional natural resources, and thus, reduce the loss of natural habitats. But most importantly, and unlike any city in the world, Telosa will establish a fund to restore critical habitats and preserve the natural resources of the greater region.
