And i think for the first bit, it's actually to be positive. Once you start going down that path, you will realize that in kno work less, consume less, have do other things that make your life rich in fulfilling. So i actually think that yet, we're goin to have to slash consumption by weigh more than most world leaders dare tell us,. but that the impacts of that are going to beway.
On this episode we meet with ecological economist and Professor in Community Development & Applied Economics and Public Administration, Josh Farley.
Farley explores the importance of human cooperation in a modern superstructure that incentivizes competition. What role will cooperation play in helping us solve our largest existential problems?
Farley explains the critical social dilemma humans face: How can we grapple with the paradox that individuals are better served to act selfishly, but cooperation among individuals makes everyone better off?
Additionally, Professor Farley helps us distinguish the difference between how a system works, and how we can understand and participate in changing a system.
