What if the real crisis is overshoot, human exceptionalism, and a society that refuses to see itself as part of nature? In this conversation, we confront uncomfortable questions about population, technology, degrowth, and the future of humanity.

Climate change is also playing a major role. As a result, many regions are experiencing growing social unrest. In 2025, the world recorded the highest number of water-related conflicts globally.

One fire south and east of where I live, the Longwood fire, has burnt over 50,000 hectares.

I'd suggest with the hundreds of fires burning in Victoria and NSW at the moment, you've missed a zero off your estimate.

Always listen to @drilledmedia.bsky.social but especially this episode to see how academic research has been captured and how tech has become massive climate obstructionists. Really relevant in the wake of all these β€œadvocates” demanding support for fossil fuels.
