Marooned! on Mars with Matt and Hilary
First, the name of the Buddhist climate activist who self-immolated in front of the Supreme Court was Wynn Bruce. Matt forgets his name when he mentions him, but everyone should know him.
In this episode, we finish volume 2 of Green Earth, discussing "The Cold Snap," "Always Generous," "Leap Before You Look," and "Primavera Porteño"-- in a very freewheeling manner, it must be said!
We talk about the gap between knowing and acting, seeming and being. And ponder the following questions:
Are elections meaningful?
Is Frank's brain injury the cause of his indecision?
Is the Khembali exorcism ceremony real?
Which of them are theater?
Paranoia, bourgeois individualism, coping, illusion, co-imagining trauma and the everyday, living a whole life--big themes in this episode!
We also mourn the passing of Hilary's cat and frequent podcast drop-in Louise, and look forward to the utopia of feline immortality under communism.
