Moments of Contingency

In this episode, KMO plays a talk that he recorded in Austin, Texas this past weekend. James Howard Kunstler addressed the Congress for the New Urbanism and emphasized the need for trains and sleazy waterfront flop houses for sailors. After that KMO plays a clip from a Thomas Homer-Dixon talk that amplifies a theme touched on in Jim Kunstler’s contribution and ends with a call to unspecified action.

The full Thomas Homer-Dixon speech of which I played a short segment can be found here:
