Who is Baby Carl? Well, he's just a little guy. A toddler with a big vocabulary, a hearty appetite for information, and an even bigger love for humanity. His friend Bill is a teacher and philosopher. 

Bill stops by to visit Baby Carl, and they talk about this scary word “apocalypse,” and discover its original meaning is ‘to disclose’ or ‘reveal’. Bill talks about his own revelation of wanting to become a philosopher, and how happy and whole this made him feel, even if it’s not always easy. Baby Carl and Bill head off on a road trip to the wilds of Vermont, USA. to meet more people who have had happy apocalypses. To learn more, visit https://www.newperennials.org/.
