Yes, I know it's rather impossible, as ERE2.0 creates infinte scenarios for person's lifestyle... but from marketing perspective, there must be some dumbed down version of message to gain some social monumentum.. or we will be stuck in this subforum with astronomical group of 7 people globally.
I also find problematic sharing summary of book about "retirement" being under 30 yo and not economically successful during trying to form new friendships.
Has anyone considered creating some videos like these to convey ERE2.0?

or any examples/blogs/instagrams of howlies living at 1-3x monetary poverty level in different countries AND doing something interesting?
Yes, it was discussed that such lifestyles aren't millenial friendly (or people who do it aren't looking for recognition or don't wanna have competition or constantly receiving snarky comments), but... on the other hand for example there's this story about living in a boat on 6k USD/yearly (probably closer to 12k USD/yr currently).
BTW, @jacob, have you considered "republishing" ERE book as ERE2.0 just by changing title and phrase of ERE1 to ERE2 in every part of the texr? I saw this "stunt" in different areas of life and at the end of the day... people bought it.
Yes, asking for 5 minutes solutions shows my attitude towards this exercise, but... it's more for having someting in the cuff for small talks. I/We can't expect random people to find time to undestand something which is rather difficult and totally different than their current lifestyle or what is done by their closest family and friends.
EDIT: I'm an idiot.

5 minutes summary/gist/examples of ERE2.0
Re: 5 minutes summary/gist/examples of ERE2.0
The repeated experience of suggesting a book to my friends entitled "early retirement extreme" and watching their eyes glaze over is frustrating. So far no one has read it at my recommendation, much to my chagrin. Almost all the people in my circle would be more likely to read a book entitled "emergent renaissance ecology" and probably many of them would benefit from it.
The book has such a great reputation in the FIRE community, maybe because of the title, but in other circles, I've found people judge it by it's cover pretty quickly. And these are the people who would make a great target audience for the content of ERE1, potentially ERE2
