In Episode 2 of House of Life, Asim Hussain and Tom Greenwood continue their exploration of sustainability by exploring what it really means to live in harmony and whether humanity and the Earth have a hierarchy of needs that mirrors our needs as individuals. This leads down a rabbit hole into staged alien invasions, the high stakes of nuclear war, the need for sustainability to be pro-peace, media propaganda and the role of advertising in fragmenting our minds, our society and fuelling mindless consumption. Expect more unexpected detours in the quest to gain deeper insights into what it means to create a better world and how we might get there.
