Life is useless
In a world where the IMF has said the entire stock of whales are worth 1 trillion dollars and biological offsets equivocate one threatened environment for another, Christianity can help us think of life as worthless and beyond value altogether. We've got a new episode where we're talking about the valuation of life and how we can reframe the way we think about value altogether. To get there, we're chatting through a big philosophical idea about the valuation of life and ecology. In the episode we talk about Marika Rose's Theology for the End of the World, Phillippe Maia's Trading Future, and a bunch of other weird philosophy guys.
