I have really enjoyed the way this series has progressed so far. Let us promise our listeners and viewers that we will try to fill out that grid with ideas, directions, hypotheticals to pass the baton to more humans to engage on this. There's one last thing I would share this time it's a little bit weird might seem off topic but um I've had a busy last week and was under slept and so I slept long last night and uh I had one kind of recurring dream all night long and it was just relevant as we're coming into this podcast which I know you'd be doing today.
In this fourth installment of conversations with Daniel Schmachtenberger, we dive deeper into the nuances of humans using energy, materials and technology. Human’s ability to develop and use tools is one of our greatest strengths - yet has also led to increasing destruction of the natural world. How does technology intensify the binding effects of a world order based on growth? Is there any way out - or could global solutions just make the problem worse?
