Harlan Morehouse is a lecturer at the University of Vermont with a keen interest in how people negotiate their futures with regard to 21st century social and environmental uncertainties. In this episode he and Eric talk about how catastrophic narratives favor individualism over collectivism, how Harlan stays balanced while immersing himself in these narratives, and why the white middle class in America is so fascinated by the conditions of its own demise, among other things.
