About this listen

A belief held by many—often called “techno-utopians”—is that technology and innovation will save us from the climate crisis. Sure things are bad, but just given a bit more time (and money), humanity will figure out a way. Haven't we always done so in the past? We talk about how technology can change us, and conclude that while technology is likely part of the solution, it isn't the solution. The solution is more cultural, ideological and political in nature. In fact, an overreliance on technological solutions will distract us from root causes.
