Will you do a podcast about the intersections of psychology, capitalism, and the climate crisis? When you mentioned getting back to work at the end of this video, I felt pain inside because I feel like if we all just go back to work and feed capitalism, which relies on unending growth, that I’m literally a cog in the wheel that is causing climate destruction and harming beings now and into the future. I lost all my jobs since covid-19 and it’s a turning point for me because I’m more ready to let go of my old life and embrace a new lifestyle to help the earth, but I d ok not know what to do. I just feel that there is too much “productivity” going on because of capitalism and its unnecessary and ultimately harmful to the climate. I want a simpler life, but beyond that, I’m not sure what to do.

You covered it all, and you did it with a civil tongue. Thank you, Doc. I hope other Americans hear you well.

Hi dr Fraad, I’m afraid that the nr of Corona deaths in the US will be far greater than anywhere. Let’s assume a 50% infection rate, or roughly 160 MM US citizens, At a global death rate of 5%, you are loooking at 8 MM extra deaths as a minimum before the year is over. The southern states will be far more affected.
