Dr. Jon Mills is a philosopher, psychoanalyst, and clinical psychologist. In his book "End of the World: Civilization and Its Fate" he contends with whether civilization is destined for self-annihilation in light of climate change, famine, threats of global war and nuclear annihilation. He joins Dr. Chris Meek on Next Steps Forward to explore the emergencies that could ignite an apocalypse and why we must seriously question whether humanity is under the sway of a collective unconscious death wish. Examining ominous existential risks and drawing on the psychological motivations, unconscious conflicts, and cultural complexes that drive human behavior and social relations, he offers fresh new perspectives on the looming fate of humanity based on a collective bystander disorder.
