About this listen

In this audio essay I think about the ecological musings of Pope Francis from his encyclical letters Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home and Laudato Si: On theClimate Crisis. Generally, I try to figure out what the pope’s theory oftechnology is. Pope Francis is an advocate for environmental stewardship and he emphasizes the moral imperative of addressing climate change, environmental degradation and stressing the interconnectedness of all life. In the end I wonder if he is more of a transhumanist with his commitment to radical life extension.
