Takyoi agrees with almost all of what we've dis to day. In the worst, post nuclear holocos, five degrees celsius, runaway situation on earth, earth will still be a paradise next to mars. If it's absolutely impossible to survive there without the level of possible technology, then you cannot let your technology levels fall. You cannot let social conflicts get out of control. There are incredible limits that being in such a poverty stricken environment put on you. And i would also that id be targeting a controlled reduction in human numbers and ultimately reserving at least half the planet for non-human life forms.
On this episode, we meet with Economist, Author, and Research Fellow at the Institute for Strategy, Resilience, and Security at University College in London, Steve Keen.
Keen discusses how mainstream economics misses the centrality of energy to our economy and to our futures, the naive treatment to the risks of money and debt creation, and the disconnect economic theory has to climate change risks.
