  • 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

  • AMA: A post on how I write a book about collapse on Substack
    2024/10/29

    Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of “Ask Me Anything” questions about the minutiae of writing about - and having to live through - collapse. I try to cover most of these kinds of questions as we work through the book Serialisation process, but a few get left behind. And so this week’s Wild episode covers these off.


    You are welcome to join the 55,000 subscribers who are following the book, chapter by chapter, week by week, here. You’ll be invited to upgrade (sorry to have to use such commercial language) to a paid subscription…this helps me to be able to dedicate most of my working week to writing said book. But don’t feel obligated. You can stay a free subscriber and read these first few chapters here and a preview of every other one!


    SHOW NOTES

    Here’s where you can start reading the first chapter of the Book Serialisation

    And here’s the link to subscribe to my Substack newsletter

    Want to ask me your own question…post it here

  • JOEL PEARSON: Do we have free will? Is anything our fault?
    2024/10/22

    Prof. Joel Pearson (Neuroscientist; AI and cognition scientist) returns to Wild, this time to discuss whether free will is an illusion. In our last chat (about intuition) the subject was raised and Joel promised to come back to discuss it further, particularly in the context of AI, algorithms, the rise of totalitarianism and our agency in systems collapse.


    Joel is the founder and Director of Future Minds Lab which applies neuroscience findings to art, AI, media, advertising and various philosophical quandaries. He’s also a National Health and Medical Research Council fellow and Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He developed the first scientific test to measure intuition and wrote The Intuition Toolkit. In this conversation, we also cover the science of manifesting!


    SHOW NOTES

    I mention the chapter on Blame and the very robust discussion the Substack community had around it. You can join this here

    Here’s the previous episode where Joel talks about the scientific proof of intuition

    I previously had willpower expert Roy Baumeister on Wild to talk about how the female orgasm shapes the world!
