Have you noticed how we often rush to create new technologies just because we can, without stopping to ask if we should? Our new episode looks at this dangerous pattern where we innovate without thinking about the consequences.

We start by looking at supersonic planes making a comeback. Why are companies building these super-fast luxury jets that are terrible for the climate, especially when we know so much about climate change?

These activities are staggeringly destructive to the Living Bio-Sphere — they should be done better — or done away with. 

Time after time, we put new technology ahead of careful thinking about its impacts. Listen now to understand this important gap between what we're able to build and what we actually should build.
