Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Archdruid John Michael Greer
Q: What do you think the biggest differences between the pre-industrial world and the post-industrial world will be?
Greer contemplates the inevitability of a feudal-like system emerging from the collapse of current structures, while preserving certain technological elements that could remain useful.
Archdruid John Michael Greer
Q: Was there a fork in the road in your life between becoming your Archdruid self and maybe a more ordinary life?
Greer reflects on his life path, explaining that autism shaped his experiences and career trajectory, leading him into a unique role as an Archdruid.
Simon Michaux
Q: What do you envision for the future if we can establish a thorium economy?
Michaux hopes that a thorium-based system will lead to a decentralized energy future, allowing communities to lead sustainable advancements while learning from past missteps and becoming more in tune with ecological limits.
Simon Michaux
Q: Could you elaborate on the concept of a circular economy and its practicality in today's mining industry?
Michaux discusses the circular economy as the idea of recycling resources into manufacturing to reduce waste. However, he points out that it's not thermodynamically balanced, indicating that there are energetic losses in the cycle, and thus, it's fundamentally flawed in its current form.
Ask Me Anything with Shane
Q: What do you think are the most valuable uses of the remaining fossil fuel energy on the planet?
Using small amounts of fossil fuel energy for critical biotechnology processes and postal systems is vital.
