THC 97: Guy McPherson | Environmental Degradation, Ocean Acidification, & Collapse
No Children by The Mountain Goats
The podcast concludes with the song "No Children" by The Mountain Goats, an intense breakup track featuring lyrics about mutual destruction and hopelessness. The song serves as a symbolic message to the natural world, reflecting the themes of environmental collapse and the end of industrial civilization discussed throughout the episode. The lyrics describe a "fail-safe plot" and a desire for the "worst" not to be over as the show fades out.
