Michael Sliwa & [RS]: Are We Doomy Enough For You?

This is a segment of episode #196 of Last Born In The Wilderness “We're Doomed!: Of Our Elaborate Plans, The End w/ Michael Sliwa & [RS].” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWrobmike

In this segment of my discussion with [RS],  and Michael Sliwa, former co-host of Nature Bats Last and the author of 'Chasing A Different Carrot: A Manifesto For The Predicament Of Privilege,’ we examine the overwhelm many are feeling in trying to navigate through our times of overlapping social, economic, ecological, and political crises. As more and more people become increasingly aware of the converging crises we face on this planet — whether that be of global ecological collapse, intensifying climate disruption, escalating social and political fragmentation, rising authoritarianism (in the United States and abroad), and the looming possibility of war breaking out between the United States and other global players (Iran, Venezuela, China, etc) — to anticipate a way out of this seems more unrealistic by the day. Whatever stability that we, the privileged global minority in the industrialized or “developed” world, have experienced up to the present moment continues to fracture. Understandably, we seek support and meaning in these times, and we look to other like-minded individuals to make us feel a little less insane for experiencing grief, anxiety, and despair in response to these crises. This discussion with Mike and [RS], in part, focuses on the flaws, as well as the overwhelmingly positive attributes, of the various groups and communities that have formed in response to the challenge of finding the others.
