  • FTE42 ~ One Year on the Brink of Extinction
    Imagine you only have one year to live.
    What are the most important things you want to do?
    That's the question I have asked six wonderful interview partners. Let them inspire you to look death in the face more calmly and to accept that we are all going to die once anyway. Here I have selected a few highlights.

  • FTE40 ~ Summer Break
    Or have a nice winter in the southern hemisphere.
    Heat waves and deluges increase. We had the hottest June on earth. Bad news don't stop.
    I really need a pause for some weeks. I try to enjoy the summer. Grief runs parralel anyway. I pause with podcast, blog, facebook etc.

  • FTE39 ~ Too Stupid to Survive
    Jan Wyllie, Jennifer Hynes and Simon Eaton have done a masterpiece. They have turned a database search into a drama.
    In this episode I am talking with Jan about the background of this work. Here we come to a limit of an audio podcast, while we are talking about an online database tool and a video.

    > This is where I'd like to die ... and it's partly the place, right, I am surrounded by nature. - Catherine Thompson

  • FTE37 ~ AS IF - One Year to Live - Part 5
    "Remember you come here having already understood the necessity of struggling with yourself — only with yourself. Therefore thank everyone who gives you the opportunity." - George I. Gurdjieff
    Gurdjieff and my interview partner David Korn are both seekers of truth. With his radical honesty David gives us back the question of an imaginary last year. In the face of collapsing biological systems on our earth, David shows himself with intelligent and deep thoughts and vulnerable sensitivity.

  • FTE36 ~ AS IF - One Year to Live - Part 4
    I am talking with journalist Jan Wyllie what's most important for him in the last (imaginary) year.
    In addition to ice cream, strawberries and the flower garden, Jan is committed to the care and preservation of a woodland in Devon, England. Another major life task is the development of a database on environmental changes. Here he tirelessly contributes his professional knowledge as an information analyst.

  • FTE35 ~ AS IF - One Year to Live - Part 3
    Facing a collapse of the biosphere, extinction and dying I talk with Pauline Panagiotou Schneider about what's important in her life. We had a relaxed conversation about such a serious topic.
    Pauline is a filmmaker, now a publisher and has many other creative gifts. Pauline dedicates her life to the truth about abrupt climate change and the 6th mass-extinction we are in.

  • FTE34 ~ AS IF - One Year to Live - Part 2
    I very much look forward to hearing the other people's perspective. It's a difficult question and you have asked it. And I think we all need to step up. It's the time for elders now to tell the truth. - Kevin Hester
    I have asked: Imagine you know your death date about one year in the future. What is most important in your life? What do you want to do?
    We have interviews with Barbara and Kevin.

  • FTE33 ~ AS IF - One Year to Live
    If you try to accept that even the human species will go extinct in a short period of time, you may be confronted with uncertainty. How will extinction happen? Nobody of us has any experience with that. Uncertainty is hard to endure.
    Do a thought experiment with me and find out what death - knocking on the door - wants to tell us.

I want to help people who are courageous enough to face the collapse of the biosphere, to be aware of how precious life is and not to be alone with it.
