#239 | A Precursor Of Things To Come: Waking Up To Our Collective Predicament w/ Forrest Palmer

Intro: 12:14 | Book Pre-sale

In this episode, I speak with Forrest Palmer, writer and editor at Wrong Kind of Green. 

Forrest and I discuss the impact the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is currently having on US society, as it wreaks havoc on human health and the global capitalist economy at large. We explore what the response to this pandemic means in the grand scheme of things as we confront numerous cascading crises, whether that be ecological, climatological, economic, or cultural in nature. As Forrest illustrates so well in this discussion, this pandemic is but a precursor of things to come, as we collectively head towards the inevitable collapse of industrial civilization, and our potential extinction as a species as well.
