Despite all the cognitive dissonance and WTF moments that saturate our stories of unsustainability in the Crazy Town podcast <https://postcarbon.us1.list-ma nage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=c9468d10dd&e=229f6020b9> , we try our best to stay grounded -- to remain tethered to nature and in sync with Earth’s journey around the sun. As such, Crazy Town is ready to bloom anew, right alongside the Scotch thistle, leafy spurge, and other invasive plants basking in the vernal mixture of rain and sun. Jason, Asher, and I are excited to kick off our fifth season today <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=a7cff56fa4&e=229f6020b9> ! We retain our roots by exposing ecomodernist techno-fantasies, neoliberal nonsense, fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of progress, and other follies of high-energy modernity. But we have a new theme to help us address these topics while maintaining our laugh-so-you-don’t-cry sensibility: Phalse Prophets. <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=4ca871946e&e=229f6020b9> Now you may be wondering: what the ph*ck is a Phalse Prophet? For an in-depth understanding, you MUST READ the (surprisingly entertaining) definitive peer-reviewed taxonomic analysis <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=56b9a9244c&e=229f6020b9> from our very own Jason Bradford, PhD. But in a nutshell: we’ve selected fourteen merchants of doom, fourteen real-life, modern-day gurus who manage to be unbelievably influential while pitching all the wrong ideas. Their ideas are dangerous because (at best) they convince people to ignore the social and environmental crises of our times, and (at worst) they push us deeper into crisis. <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=7d8357410e&e=229f6020b9> Welcome back to Crazy Town! I hope you’ll join us for some laughs and insights. Maybe you’ll even find a sense of community and shared agency for navigating the cascading crises of the 21st century. Thanks for listening, and please stay safe out there on the mean streets of Crazy Town, <https://mcusercontent.com/311db31977054c5ef58219392/images/5535f540-3e97-4288-922c-8a864690cad1.png> Rob Dietz Program Director <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=0362eecc43&e=229f6020b9> Share <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id =96ef5c4914&e=229f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=98732bfa0d&e=229f6020b9> Tweet <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id =b848e55049&e=229f6020b9> <https://us1.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=943bbcb5df&e=229f6020b9> Forward <https://us1.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=943bbcb5df&e=22 9f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=d1642dec5d&e=229f6020b9> +1 <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=67 03ba2a03&e=229f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=9db53fad11&e=229f6020b9> Share <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id =b868b7aa0d&e=229f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=17d7700a82&e=229f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=1b6c1e4e02&e=229f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=d34100eb83&e=229f6020b9> <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=a19bca0919&e=229f6020b9> Copyright © 2023 Post Carbon Institute, All rights reserved.
