The concept of collapse comes across as binary. Either we're going to have a collapse or we're not, but the reality is there are many different shades. And if i was an insect or an elephant or someone in ukraine, collapse is now. So the future's already here. It's not evenly distributed. The second thing is, the future is a rife with possibilities. Yours and my work and that of our colleagues might be able to cordone off some glorious economic energy futures that are really not feasible, but we don't know what's going to happen.
On this episode we meet with Executive Director of Stanford University’s Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere, Joan Diamond.
Diamond helps us imagine the future in an uncertain time. How can we create robust strategies to help us plan? How can we avoid thinking only of worst-case scenarios?
Further, Diamond offers suggestions for how people can handle their hopelessness and rage following recent Supreme Court rulings. What options exist for people to change systems?
