From biblical prophecy to ecological collapse, humanity has always been obsessed with its own end. This episode traces the many visions of apocalypse, from Armageddon and the Last Judgment to the environmental crisis of the Anthropocene, alongside Walter Benjamin's Angel of History, the myth of Sisyphus, and Nietzsche's eternal return. We reflect on the idea of progress and the search for meaning in absurdity, catastrophe, and the endless repetition of everyday life.
