Human Nature Odyssey: 18 - Time Machine 2126 (Part 2): Techno-Utopia Or Apocalypse?

18 - Time Machine 2126 (Part 2): Techno-Utopia Or Apocalypse?

Dec 18, 2025

Picture the future 100 years from now. What do you imagine? Flying cars? Space colonies? AI talking toasters?

But if we can’t sustain an endlessly growing economy - even with a transition to green energy - what does a realistic and positive future look like?

Alex joins the hosts of Crazy Town to imagine life in the 22nd century: walking from our family farms into communal villages, living off the land in a low-energy lifestyle, taming our pet donkeys, and resisting our local warlords.

It’s not the future the movies told us to expect. But it might be a future we enjoy living in.
