Nausicaa: rewilding, technological anxiety, and what is "nature?" w/ Miles Greb


Listen Later

Miyazaki recognition

This is Miles’ favorite. Chris doesn’t generally love Miyazaki but really really loves Totoro.

Environmentalism in Media

Processing human-caused catastrophe. We previously explored this in our Godzilla episode with Miles. Miyazaki was inspired by Minamata disease.

Aircraft

irl Nausicaa glider!

Rewilding

The ways in which humanity is worse than poison. Thriving of wildlife in our absence. Predators.

What is nature

Colloquial definitions versus recognition that we are part of nature and not really separate from it.

Technology Anxiety

Nuclear power safety and the negative effects of fossil fuels. Recognizing the relative safeness and harm. Being responsible with our technology.

Preservation

Of knowledge and technology over epochal time. Infrastructure and production. The scientific method as essential technology.
