Our guest for Episode 52 of the podcast is Dr. Guy McPherson. Dr. McPherson left his high-pay, low-work position as a tenured full professor at the University of Arizona to retreat to a simpler life 'on the land'. He is now a writer at GuyMcPherson.com and Transitionvoice.com, a published author, and public speaker. In this episode of the podcast, we find out why a life-long academic would abandon this seemingly idyllic position, and get his perspective on the challenges that face our species in the decades to come.
We changed our lives and lifestyles 10 years ago. There may be more than a few hundred people doing this but, never the less, these are not the people that can turn things around. As long as big oil, big gas, big banks, mega-farms, etc.. drive their ideas of "progress" there is no hope of a turn around in environmental collapse. I may be able to survive but to what end?
Walking away is not the same as giving up. Someone said that. Wow. A life line. Thank you Guy.
