As Bob Dylan sang: The times, they are a changin'. From ecosystem collapse to social unrest in Europe, to faltering financial markets — change appears to be breaking out everywhere right now. A recent trip to the rainforests of Costa Rica has given Chris a little rest, rejuvenation and arm's-length perspective on things, which he shares in detail in this wide-ranging podcast:
So this is what has started to erupt now. We're seeing this happen all over the world, but this has nothing to do with fascism or left or right or populists or any of that other stuff. This is what happens when you squeeze people and they don’t feel like they have any other redress. So really what the French riots are about is that the French government is super, super bureaucratic and all that other stuff. The technocracy and bureaucracy of Brussels and Paris and all that stuff, I don’t even understand it, but I know it well enough to say it's pretty thick.
