fantastic historical overview! and really appreciate the transparency, honesty and care you both exhibit.

Description

A Podcast where we ponder the paradoxes of modernity. Why is the “best of all possible worlds” driving us off a cliff. How did the promises of universal liberty, justice, and prosperity curdle into rising authoritarianism, crumbling faith in institutions, and intensifying ecological and social crises. We root around in the civilizational undergrowth in search of the rhizomatic roots of a durable planetary flourishing. In other words, we contemplate what parts of modernity are worth preserving and what parts must be composted.
