The Seeds Will Grow

Dr. Jem Bendell: What if it’s too late?

The Seeds Will Grow

Show Notes

What if the future you were promised is no longer guaranteed?

In 2018, Jem Bendell published Deep Adaptation; a paper that quietly became one of the most controversial and influential documents in the climate movement.

Jem argued that we're not simply facing climate change, but the potential collapse of many of the systems we've built our lives on.

For Finn, and many others, reading that paper became a turning point and ultimately set him on the path that led to the life he's living today.

Far from a conversation about doom, this episode asks a deeper question:

If the future is uncertain, how should we live today?

Join Finn Harries and Jem Bendell as they discuss finding meaning when the stories we've built our lives around begin to fall apart.
