Maximum Carbon Sinkhole

KC & JP talk with Karen and Jordan of Chickenfoot Ranch about their experience dropping out of dominant culture... as much as the law allows. Enlightening discussion about rewilding, the death machine we're all riding, becoming 'bilingual,' the merits of sleeping outside, and the limits of protest.

When is it all going to end? Working through fears, conspiracies, and uncertainty. KC & JP's crystal ball isn't working but that doesn't stop them from trying to figure out when they can stop paying the mortgage.

Food ties us to the machine. What is 'permaculture,' and where might it lead us? KC & JP push through their aversion to 'movements' and immediately make a more productive homestead.

TRY IT AT HOME: Fuck You Attacks (20:00)

For 40 years, we've been pronouncing the American Dream to be dead. Yet, the consumption choices and lifestyle habits of subsequent generations imply the dream is still alive and well. Why this paradox? How does this pathogen survive immune system detection, how can we inoculate ourselves and each other against this unseen disease, how can you break the news to a loved one... that they're infected?

JA from the UK shares his adaptation story, which includes living on a boat. Maybe artists — already used to starving — are best prepared for what’s next. The UK has a booty. Banksy is basic AF. Gardening claims another soul. Fuck your lawn.

JP & KC take to the evening air. THEY LIVE taught us how to see. Since our own culture is killing us, dropping out is step one in forming whatever comes next.
