  • Degrowth: The Idea That Could Save Civilization | JP Arellano
    Nov 18 2025

    Our global society is obsessed with endless economic growth — and that obsession is currently destroying the planet. In this episode, we chat with JP Arellano about the idea of degrowth — a radical economic vision that challenges the very foundation of modern civilization. Is “less” really “more”? Or would abandoning growth lead to collapse, chaos, and conflict?

  • The Metacrisis: A Game Theory Perspective | Dr. Ashley Hodgson
    Oct 15 2025

    Can we solve the metacrisis through the lens of game theory? In this episode, we speak with Ashley Hodgson about the game-theoretic dynamics driving the metacrisis — and how we might shift the game toward a more just and sustainable future.

    We explore how transparency, information flow, and cultural narratives shape power and cooperation in society, and why overcoming in-group vs. out-group dynamics is key to progress. The conversation also touches on epistemic humility, relationship-building, and how genuine change begins with those most willing to cooperate.

  • Barry Lynn - Monopolies & The Metacrisis
    Aug 19 2025

    Barry Lynn joins us to discuss the state of anti-monopoly policy in the United States. In the context of the current Trump administration’s drive for market deregulation, we discuss how the interests of big business – including the tech giants – have co-opted American democracy, and what needs to be done to restore a political system that works on behalf of the people as opposed to corporations.
