We hear it a lot, the idea that humans are bad at long-term thinking, that we’re not good at planning, that it’s hard for people to think beyond their own immediate problems. We've heard that people don’t really think about the future until they have children, that they seek immediate gratification, and will always prioritise short-term profit over long-term gains. This idea pops up everywhere, pa...

This episode addresses saviorism complexes within activism, particularly when it is organised or oriented towards middle-class standpoints. When middle-class people engage in activism, it often stems from a revelation or realisation about how the world works, followed by a desire to change it, rather than from collective action born of an issue affecting a community. In this way, activists can see...

I think for a lot of people, climate change is this kind of vague, bad future thin...
