“Maybe what we’re looking for is fewer robot vacuum cleaners and more compost toilets.”

We stumble into a new series of The Great Humbling with an episode that revolves around shit and technology. This is also our first video episode, so you can watch our beardy faces on Substack or YouTube.

Shownotes

Thanks for listening, sharing and getting in touch! Look out for

’s public events in London next week – and a new five-week online series with a school called HOME, starting on 6 & 7 November.

Homeward Bound
Homeward Bound (including The Great Humbling)
How will they look in hindsight, these strange times we are living through? Is this a midlife crisis on humanity's road to the Star Trek future – or the point at which that story of the future unravelled and we came to see how much it had left out? What if our current crises are neither an obstacle to be overcome, nor the end of the world, but a necessary humbling?
These are the kind of questions which we set out to explore in The Great Humbling. We hope you'll join us and let us know what you think.
