The Ultimate Metric of Doom

KMO welcomes Orren Whiddon of Four Quarters Interfaith Church to the C-Realm to discuss the upcoming Age of Limits conference. Orren describes how one of his high school teachers gave him a copy of the original Limits to Growth study and how that put him on his life-long course. Orren argues that the statistic of peak human population is the ultimate metric of our undoing as a civilization and how sterile phrases like "peak population" mask an abyss of human suffering. In the middle, KMO reads from The Future Delusion blog and discusses his own evolving relationship to the idea of collapse.
