Carey King

Dr. Carey King, a research scientist and Assistant Director at the Energy Institute, discusses the fallacy of efficiency in the context of climate change. He challenges traditional views on economic growth and energy consumption, advocating for a new understanding he terms the 'economic superorganism.' The conversation explores the paradox of 'bullshit jobs,' critiques unsustainable capitalist models, and emphasizes the need for effective, holistic solutions to global challenges. King's insights encourage a re-evaluation of how we perceive energy and economy in our quest for sustainability.
