This podcast was recorded at a time when the “doomsday” clock was less than two minutes to global destruction. A time when climate change tears apart the fabric of society, environments, and generally the world in which humans inhabit. Can the ramifications of our innovations (i.e., those that have powered a collective four major iterations of the “industrial revolution”), move us beyond where we are today—or are those ramifications what got us here to begin with? Are we indeed at the cusp of failures, or can it be attributable to the normal growing pains of a new innovative revolution?Our societies are conflicted due to the rise of nationalism and populism especially within and across our political dialogues. Innovations are giving individuals and groups greater voice to spread their messages, while reaching individuals, providing differing viewpoints, and being able to deliver voices which once were restricted or ignored.
