Climate Reparations?

Climate Reparations?

A hotter planet is here, my friends. Don’t believe me? Just turn on the news.

On today’s show we first break down major current climate events; we then ask ourselves a set of ethical quandaries. Should the global north pay reparations to the global south its for centuries-long polluting behaviors, or is the inequitable and unjust natures of climate change simply bad luck?

 

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] How’d summer go? (Hint: not great, especially in Pakistan)

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
