"Stupid is as stupid derp": Is the Human species too dumb to survive?
Manage episode 285525597 series 2626972
In this week's episode we discuss the simple but rather alarming idea that humans (or many of them) are too stupid a species to prevent their own extinction by human induced climate change. While on the surface this seems a facetious question it actually involves a deep discussion of what "stupidity" is and whether we as a species can escape the genetic or societal inheritance that blinds us to the existential threat of global warming.
