I speak with Doomer Optimist cofounder and faculty in the Department of Sustainable Development at Appalachian State University, Jason Snyder, about finding the others, using the internet to encourage localism, Balaji Srinivasan’s The Network State, homesteading, the value of embodied work, regenerative agriculture, resource independence, and our disagreement on degrowth.

Doomer Optimism is an eclectic metamodern movement building a template for post-collapse.

“I don’t think the industrial food system as its currently composed is sustainable.” - Jason Snyder
