6 days ago

In a world dominated by Capitalism, three intrepid Anarchist friends from the North Atlantic Archipelago (Ireland, Scotland and begrudgingly England) journey to find truth, socialism and a Zoom handle that doesn't involve poop. The Anomie co-hosts met a decade ago as student activists in the UK and have graduated to unemployed armchair academics in Dublin. Each week they (and a rotating third host) discuss a different topic from both a historical and ideological perspective and try and relate it to the current dystopia of Corporate Feudalism.

"Stupid is as stupid derp": Is the Human species too dumb to survive?

In this week's episode we discuss the simple but rather alarming idea that humans (or many of them) are too stupid a species to prevent their own extinction by human induced climate change. While on the surface this seems a facetious question it actually involves a deep discussion of what "stupidity" is and whether we as a species can escape the genetic or societal inheritance that blinds us to the existential threat of global warming.
