The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens
Nate Hagens is the Director of The Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future (ISEOF) an organization focused on educating and preparing society for the coming cultural transition. His theory that we are at the end of a “carbon pulse” which provided the vast amounts of energy to which we owe much of modern civilisation is compelling – and his thoughts about what we can do at the end of that pulse are interesting. https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/
