50: Civilized to Death?

from Rethinking Humanity · host Lacey Delayne

How does life today differ from pre-agricultural times? Was Jean Jacques Rousseau really the author of the noble savage idea? Are we a culture that spends billions to attempt to prolong life, unnecessarily? We’re joined by special guest Richard Berry to discuss some of Christopher Ryan’s mind-bending book Civilized to Death. This is a public episode.
