About this episode
KMO revisits a sampler from Conversations on Collapse, reflecting on the discourse surrounding collapse with critical insights.
KMO revisits a sampler created during the original assembly of Conversations on Collapse and uses it to open a new project: Getting Over Collapse . Featuring excerpts from: Dmitri Orlov Albert K. Bates Thomas Homer-Dixon Sharon Astyk Albert Bartlett Cornelia Butler Flora Bill McKibben James Howard Kunstler Colin Tudge Joe Bageant Daniel Pinchbeck (appearing in a trialogue with Dmitri Orlov) this episode returns to the Peak Oil era with a more critical but still appreciative eye. The result is part archive artifact, part historical reflection, and part inquiry into what collapse discourse got right, what it got wrong, and why it mattered.
