Techno-optimists dream of a future where we mine, travel to, and colonize other planets – all in the hopes of bypassing the problems we now face on Earth. But from the perspective of physics and ecology, how feasible is space colonization?

If our cultural values and ways of life are what got us here, rooted in narrow-boundary, cold, and logical thinking – then perhaps moments of turbulence like these actually call on us to change our way of thinking entirely.

Over three-quarters of the global population has never lived through a major global energy crisis, such as those of the 1970s. In early 2026, that is about to change as the world faces the largest energy disruption in history.

As the war in Iran creates chaos in every domain of life, the already-fragile energy systems of many countries find themselves on the brink of crisis after spending decades investing in natural gas infrastructure, largely supplied by Middle Eastern countries.

It's been over a year since we made the animated film The Great Simplification. In that time, the world has continued to track the systems synthesis presented in the movie: humans -combining energy and materials into technology and services, representing it all by money, in order to generate *feelings* that match ancestral drives. In aggregate, this global 'metabolism' -riding the upslope of the carbon pulse- generates growth, plus waste. It has no braking system. It reacts but has no plan. The film offers a framework for the questions of our time ==>A species level conversation. 32 minutes

The conversation about the health and livability of our world should feature more than just climate. In this episode, I speak with environmental scientist Johan Rockström to unpack his work on Planetary Boundaries and the pressure we're putting on them.

This Wed, Doughnut-Economist Kate Raworth joins me for a lively discussion on alternative economic models, her experience advocating for them, and the adoption of them in cities and businesses internationally. A fantastic primer on the need for different economic measurements!
