  • INDY JOHAR: The starkest collapse prognosis I’ve heard
    2024/11/19

    Indy Johar (founder of Dark Matter Labs, systems designer) re-imagines and redesigns systems for a changed world. The architect and Professor of Planetary Civics at Melbourne’s RMIT and the University of Sheffield has worked with and advised organisations worldwide. Including the Scottish Government, the Mayor of London and WikiHouse, solving complex, entangled problems. Using complexity, emergence and entanglement theories he is a rare expert in this space to provide the (only) path to fixing the world, which is to say fixing our relationship with the world.


    This conversation goes to a level I’ve not been to before publicly. On his modelling, we don’t have any choice but to start building the world that comes next, for the current one has no viable pathway. He gives a vision for this this. And he gives a timeframe, too.


    For this episode, I’m providing a forum where you can talk through how you feel about the ideas and your feelings with others. Indy has offered to chime in too: Join the chat on Substack HERE.


    SHOW NOTES

    If you are new to this collapse topic you might want to catch up via this conversation with Luke Kemp, the one with Meg Wheatley and this one with Corey Bradshaw.

    There are some previous guests and topics that are referenced in this chat:

    • Nate Hagens on the future of fossil fuels
    • Kate Raworth on Doughnut Economics
    • We talk about zero-sum theory. I talked about this with Liv Boeree, former world poker champion.
    • We also cover the Blue Zones concept. I interviewed the man behind this, Dan Buettner, here.
    • Indy also references the work of Iain McGilchrist, a guest a few weeks back.


    You can learn more about Indy's work via DarkMatterLabs

  • LYNDSEY STONEBRIDGE: How would Hannah Arendt explain Trump?
    2024/11/12

    Lyndsey Stonebridge (Humans rights academic, Hannah Arendt biographer) was worried about the banality of evil she was observing in the world and so dug down into the work of controversial philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt for insights. Her new book, We Are Free to Change the World: Hannah Arendt’s Lessons in Love and Disobedience is a guide on how to live--and think--through a moment like the one we’re in now in the wake of the US election. It draws on Arendt’s ideas about totalitarianism, loneliness, the dulling of the mind, capitalism, as well as the imperative to love the world. Lyndsey is a Professor of Humanities and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. and writes and broadcasts about a range of topical subjects: refugees, feminism and the moral mind. In 2023, she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.


    SHOW NOTES

    I mention the Wild episode with BBC Washington correspondent Nick Bryant

  • LUKE KEMP: Will our global civilisation go the way of the Roman Empire?
    2024/11/05

    Luke Kemp (historical collapse expert; associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk) has studied past civilisations and mapped out a picture of how long they tend to last before they collapse, what tends to tip them and what (if anything) can be done to stall their demise. Luke works alongside Lord Martin Rees and Yuval Noah Harari, is an honorary lecturer in environmental policy at the Australian National University and his collapse insights have been covered by the BBC, the New York Times and the New Yorker. His first book, 'Goliath's Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse' will be published in June 2025.


    In this episode I get Luke to provide a bit of a 101 on how civilisations do indeed decline and perish and to update us on the latest theories on how and whether ours might make it through. The answer is surprising.


    SHOW NOTES

    Here’s Luke’s original report on complex civilisation’s lifespans.

    Keep up to date with Luke's work here

    A few past Wild guests are referenced by Luke. You can catch the episode on Moloch with Liv Boeree here, the interview with Adam Mastroianni here and my chat with Nate Hagens here

    The first chapter of my book serialisation – about hope – is available to everyone here

    And here are the two chapters that I reference at the end
