Hello, it’s Tom and Asim,
In episode 7 of House of Life, just gone live, Asim starts us off by sharing his somewhat brutal method of controlling aphids in his garden, illustrating his idea that if suffering is an inevitable part of life then “the suffering has got to be worth it”. This moral dilemma somehow leads to a question mark over the authenticity of the modern sustainability community. What does it really stand for?
We go on to discuss tribal identity, the myth of the left and right, and our bewilderment that atrocities such as those in Gaza are not high on the sustainability movement’s agenda.
From here we move on to discuss the dilemmas of AI in the sustainability space and what their potential opportunities and pitfalls might be — not in terms of environmental impact — but human life and societal progress. Will AI help us achieve peace or will it rot our minds and accelerate our decline? Perhaps the choice is ours to make.
If you’ve made it this far with us, we’d love to hear from you, so do drop us a message to let us know what’s on your mind.
And if you’re on a similar journey and feeling alone, let us know if you’d benefit from joining us in a Signal group (or similar) to explore open minded thinking about life, the universe and our home planet — uncensored.
