For April, we read Socialist States and the Environment Lessons for Eco-Socialist Futures by Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro! We discussed things we have learned from the examples of socialist states, what was missing from the book, comparison to Half-Earth Socialism, and degrowth policies. https://monthlyreview.org/2022/09/01/a-new-environmental-history-of-socialist-states/ May: Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster by Adam Higginbotham June: Slow Down by Kohei Saito July: Artificial Condition: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

Troy Vettese is an environmental historian who specializes in environmental economics, animal studies, and energy history. In 2019 he completed his doctorate in history at New York University. From 2019 to 2021, he worked at Harvard University as a William Lyon Mackenzie King postdoctoral research fellow. He has collaborated with Drew Pendergrass, an environmental engineer, on numerous projects including their book Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics . Troy is currently revising his dissertation on neoliberal environmental thought into a book, tentatively titled 'Beyond Externality'. In addition to his academic work, Vettese writes on a wide array of environmental topics for a popular audience, and has had essays published in the Guardian, the New Statesman, Jacobin, N+1, Book Forum, and Boston Review. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."

We are back at this systems theory business attempting to answer the question of just how we can de-alienate our workplaces. Last week a listener named Roger reached out with some of the ideas he's come across in researching democratic workplace systems.

It's also brought to you by the Animal Publics book series at Sydney University Press. Take a look at their new titles!

Green capitalism will do nothing to reverse climate breakdown and biodiversity loss, says environmental historian Troy Vettese. In "Half-Earth Socialism" he and Drew Pendergrass lay out a radical plan to save our future: a vision for eco-socialism that ends the ecological crisis and brings the good life to all.

In der aktuellen Folge des FM4 Game Podcast vom 17. November 2022 sprechen Rainer Sigl und Robert Glashüttner über eine äußerst unangenehme Situation bei der Entwicklung von "Doom Eternal", die drei Jahre später nun ans Tageslicht gekommen ist. Sie ranten über den Umstand, dass kaum Indiegames bei den Game Awards nominiert werden und sprechen natürlich auch aktuelle Empfehlungen aus der FM4 Spielkultur-Redaktion aus: "Sonic Frontiers", "Half Earth Socialism", "Frog Detective 3" und "Marvel Snap". Als Bonus gibt es nach dem Podcast-Gespräch noch ein Interview mit Imani Hakim, die in der TV-Serie "Mythic Quest" die Rolle von Dana spielt. (Folge #55)

Join Drew Pendergrass, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Andrea Vetter, Matthew Huber, and Thea Riofrancos for a discussion on left climate strategy that assesses where we are and what we should be fighting for. What are the most useful frameworks to help the Left to organize our climate justice movements? What demands should we prioritize, and what strategies can we borrow from history and from other social movements? How can utopian thinking expand our horizons in what must be a massive fight for a more sustainable future? Centering class struggle, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy, anti-capitalist economic alternatives like degrowth and socialist planning: can all of these ideas (and more!) be woven into a clear message and a blueprint for change? Join a panel of environmental thinkers to discuss left climate strategy and to assess where we are and what could be possible.

Cymene and Dominic talk about hauling ice, champagne socialism and the mystery of Viennetta cakes on this week's intro. Then (16:07) we are joined by Troy Vettese, an environmental historian, and Drew Pendergrass, an environmental engineer, to talk about their bold and imaginative new book, Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics (Verso 2022, https://www.versobooks.com/books/3818-hal). We begin with the value of thinking in impractical ways and how utopian socialists past like Edward Bellamy, William Morris and Otto Neurath inspired this project. We discuss how high growth expectations have bedeviled planning in the past and talk about the flaws in the utopia of automated luxury socialism. Is capitalism an inherently irrational system? Does planning have irrational tendencies too? We cover where the idea to make a game version of the book came from (https://play.half.earth). We move from there to what the Left could stand to learn from the tactics of the neoliberal revolution, the necessity of utopian imagination for mass organizing, how intellectuals underestimate the readiness of the working class for change and much, much, more.

Rundown In this episode, Mexie talks with Marxist, vegan academic and activist, Dr. Troy Vettese, about his new co-authored book (with Drew Pendergrass), Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan To Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change, and Pandemics. We start by discussing the importance of utopian socialism and reinvigorating our radical creativity to be daring enough […]

One of the most fascinating and thought-provoking books of our time is Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics (Verso) by Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass. The book asks the question: how could we actually have a future for Earth that is both green and socialist? The authors dive into the history of attempts to plan the economy, unearthing useful insights from neglected thinkers like Otto Neurath (developer of the very cool Isotype system). They combine utopian fiction and serious scientific analysis to offer a vision of what humans might be capable of if we put our know-how to work. It's very rare these days to have serious scientific thinkers trying to imagine the path to radical futures, so Pendergrass and Vettese have given us a wonderful gift that all leftists should debate and discuss. The book has an eclectic mix of influences, as the authors write:Half-Earth Socialism draws on ecology, energy studies, epidemiology, biogeography, Chilean cybernetics, history, eighteenth-century philosophy, Soviet mathematics, the socialist calculation debate, Hayekian epistemology, cutting-edge climate modelling, feminist sci-fi, and the forgotten tradition of utopian socialism.Vettese and Pendergrass have even designed a free computer game to go along with their book, in which YOU can attempt to plan the entire global economy, reducing emissions and the destruction of life while keeping the population happy. It's like SimCity but with the whole world, and instead of your task being to build a city it's to maintain a viable eco-socialist global government. GOOD LUCK!  

“Animal agriculture can be gone tomorrow. it's not foundational. That's why I find it very puzzling, the amount of pushback because it seems to be the actual… low hanging fruit. You write a book about socialism and no problem at all, people are like. “yeah, sure get rid of capitalism. No problem.” Get rid of animal agriculture, they get very mad.” -Drew Pendergrass   Drew is a PhD student in environmental engineering at Harvard. He is also the co-author with Troy Vettessee of  Half Earth Socialism A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics.   In order to save the planet while at the same time, make life better for all beings on the planet, Drew and Troy have come up with a plan, that includes:   Rewilding half the earth to absorb carbon emissions and restore biodiversity A rapid transition to renewable energy, paired with drastic cuts in consumption by the world's wealthiest Global veganism to cut down on energy and land use Worldwide socialist planning to efficiently and equitably manage production The involvement of everyone   The authors also collaborated with designers from the Jain Family Institute and Trust to create a video game based on the book, at play.half.earth.

It's gonna take some big ideas and even bigger actions for humanity to swerve the 2°C warming climate catastrophe coming down the road. So this week we're taking half the world away. Joining us on the podcast are Drew Pendergrass (@pendergrassdrew) and Troy Vettese (@TroyVettese) the authors of "Half Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change, and Pandemics".  Their book combines half earth re-wilding and the rich history of Utopian Socialism to illustrate a way of saving the earth from humanity and combating our hubris and domination of nature itself. We discuss the works of Otto Neurath, Leonid Kantorovich and Stafford Beer; using neoliberal thinking against neoliberalism, how and why Malthusian ideas on over-population are embedded into society and the problems that arise from it, and how to  create more efficient food chains through global veganism.LinksPick up a copy of half earth socialism from Verso books Here Check out Drew and Troy's website for more info: https://www.half.earth/Play the Half Earth Socialism the gamehttps://play.half.earth/Shout outsUAWD - United All Workers for  Democracy @UAWD_ReformTroy's girlfriend Shenuya Minesh Parekh - congrats on being elected for Crookes and Crosspool in Sheffield@min_eshFianna Hornby GND Councillor elected for Gorse Hill in Trafford@fiannahornbyAngela Brown GND Councillor elected in Heywood@Angel4brown598Support the show

Troy Vettese is an environmental historian who specializes in environmental economics, animal studies, and energy history. Troy writes on a wide array of environmental topics for a popular audience, and has had essays published in the Guardian, Boston Review and the New Statesman, among others. Drew Pendergrass is a PhD student in Environmental Engineering at Harvard University. His current research uses satellite, aircraft and surface observations of the environment to correct supercomputer models of the atmosphere. His environmental writing has been published in Harper's, the Guardian and Current Affairs.

With "Half Earth Socialism" Drew Pendergrass and Troy Vettese want to provide a plan to save the earth and bring the good life to all.
