Why the Collapse of Everything is Our Greatest Chance for Love and Relief, with Sarah Wilson
About this episode
Sarah Wilson discusses how the collapse of everything we know can be an opportunity for our fullest humanity.
What if the collapse of everything we know isn't a catastrophe to fear, but an opportunity for our fullest humanity? This is the idea explored by multi-New York Times and Amazon bestselling author and social philosopher Sarah Wilson in her latest book I Eat the Stars. In this conversation, she explains exactly what complex systems collapse means, the process of writing the book, including speaking to over 200 global thought leaders, why we must continue to create art no matter what, and what radical hope and love truly look like.
