More thoughts on our predicaments: Pandemic, capitalism, racism, ecology and especially war

Friday, 7 May 2021 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer continue their discussion from two programs ago about five intersecting predicaments facing us: 

(1) the COVID-19 pandemic,

(2) late capitalism and its gross and exponentially growing inequality and destructiveness,

(3) racism and how ‘whites’ both socially and culturally seem incapable to acknowledge their racism,

(4) the onslaughts our ‘civilisation’ inflicts on our planet’s ecology, and

(5) the careless and wilful promotion of war. They float some ideas about the directions we need to take to avert catastrophe.

 

 

 

 

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
