Ep 44: Thinking Beyond the Climate Catastrophy (Guest: Dougald Hine)

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dougald Hine is not your typical thinker on Climate Change, Crisis, Hoax - whatever your flavor or politics happen to be. When many of his friends became radicalized and formed Extinction Rebellion he took the road less traveled and ended up demanding that we ask fundamentally different questions rather than demand radical answers.

Questions like "What the hell is being done in the name of progress anyway?"

Doesn't matter if you are a believer, skeptic, sinner or pillar-saint. Dougald Hine will challenge you to think differently about Catastrophe, Climate and Civilisation.

We had a very pleasant discussion with him about changing one's mind. About the relationship between Romanticism and the Environmental Movement. About paths not taken.

Oh and how Andreas Malm saved him by hating his guts.
