No More Business as Usual: A second interview with Rupert Read of XR

Business as usual has brought us to the edge of extinction.  Can we switch off our complacency and turn towards life in time?  Raw, honest thoughts from Professor Rupert Read of Extinction Rebellion.  Professor Rupert Read, Green Party activist, XR speaker, and deep adaptation philosopher, speaks openly, deeply - and with a raw, almost unique honesty  - about the dangers of the current time, and the need to turn away from ‘business as usual’ There are times when we need to shock ourselves out of our complacency, when we need to realise how close to the edge of extinction., we are, when we need to step away from the fantasies of ‘business as usual’ and re-appraise the very nature of what it is to be human.  And then to work out how to go forward in ways that are regenerative, compassionate, and that turn towards life.
