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.
