THOM HARTMANN: I always enjoy my conversations with the political analyst and ecologist Thom Hartmann. A progressive national and internationally syndicated talk show host, Hartmann also writes a great Substack newsletter, The Hartmann Report. He's a New York Times bestselling author of 24 books. I particularly enjoyed his book The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, which inspired Leonardo Di Caprio’s film The 11th Hour (in which Thom appears), as well as the the movie Ice On Fire. You can learn about his many books and storied career on his website.

In this conversation, we discuss the fall-out from the election: Where we are now and what may happen next, and how accelerating warming and the environmental crisis could influence the near-future of civilization.

CURTIS YARVIN: Software designer, intellectual and political theorist, Yarvin has become famous in some ways and perhaps infamous in other ways, depending on where you sit, as a philosopher of the neo-reactionary or "dark enlightenment" movement who's been credited by The New Republic and Vox and other publications for inspiring Peter Thiel and JD Vance with some of their more extreme ideas around monarchy and technocracy. Essentially, the necessity of shifting from democracy to something that's more authoritarian or autocratic.

Curtis and I have very differing opinions and ideas about so many things, and therefore it was interesting to have this dialog with him. I hope you enjoy it.
