 Will watch later.

Didn't realise Paul Kingsnorth turned Orthodox Christian. (I suppose his Dark Mountain project wasn't that dissimilar to St Benedict and the collapse of the Roman empire, so sorta makes sense maybe?)

'We spoke about Paul's journey from environmentalism to Orthodox Christianity, the relationship between Christian millenarianism and the fear of civilisational collapse, the attraction of zombie apocalypse films, and why secularism cannot last.'

 I enjoy Paul's work. Will give this a listen! 
 Wow, thats quite the transformation. 
I was around for the early days of the Dark Mountain..
Wierd how the path of life meanders.
I walked away from most environmental activisim when it became apparent it was more about the control of people than empowering them..
