I wrote about why it is so tempting to give in to doom thinking, and why we shouldn't

I drew inspiration from Björk and Blaise Pascal

Whatever you do, don’t give in to the idea that we are all doomed. It only makes it all much worse

Today on Volts: I talk with the estimable Cory Doctorow about enshittification (the inevitable rot & customer exploitation of tech platforms) and how it might manifest in clean-energy tech, which will soon be running our vehicles and homes. Much to worry about!
