Paul Kingsnorth - Is There A Retvrn From The Edge?

I speak to Paul about freedom under liberalism, his conversion to Romanian Orthodoxy, the possibility of a truly secular society, transhumanism, the English people and their right to self-determination, the hedonic treadmill, London as the new Babel, what is Hell, scientism and the race for the preservation of bare life under Covid, materialism, localism, AI, technocapital and more. 

Paul Kingsnorth is an English writer and former environmental activist who lives in the west of Ireland. He is the former deputy editor of The Ecologist and the co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project. You can find his work on his website

and his Substack, The Abbey of Misrule.

His recommended subversive is Jaques Ellul and his book The Technological Society (plus a nod to Uncle Ted, who has explored similar territory).
