Waleed Aly & Naomi Klein - Our entanglements have been exposed

The In-Between  /  EP08
Available Now
On the precipice of a new age, what are the forces that will bring us together, and what is driving us apart? Simon Longstaff sits between Waleed Aly and Naomi Klein as they discuss the decline of meta-narratives in society and politics, reconciling coloniser and Indigenous histories and narratives, and trends of hyper-individualism and conspiracy. Neither are wholly optimistic nor pessimistic about the future that lies ahead.

Delve even deeper into the speakers and themes discussed in this episode:

The way that we talk about realising the most perfect version of our lives always seems to be about breaking bonds. If I effectively have no bonds restraining me, I have nothing that that binds me.
Waleed Aly
The denial of the climate crisis has now extended into a denial of everything that is inconvenient to one’s belief system or one’s everyday habits… It’s a kind of a designer reality to fit your personal proclivities.
Naomi Klein
