Nicole Foss & Aaron Wissner discuss facing the fear of death in the unfolding of the future. This is intended to be read like a novel. Do not attempt all in one setting, unless you really have time to binge. Take breaks. You don't have to finish it to get something out of it. :-) To compress time, try playing back at a higher rate like 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 or 2.0.

About Nicole Foss
Futurist Nicole M. Foss is the creator of Foss.Blogg. Here she provides easy-to-understand answers in response to questions on peak oil, financial crisis, energy descent, resilience, community, and simple living.
Foss was co-editor of The Automatic Earth, where she wrote under the name Stoneleigh. She and her writing partner chronicled and interpreted the on-going credit crunch as the most pressing aspect of our current multi-faceted predicament. The site integrated finance, energy, environment, psychology, population and real politik in order to explain the predicament and can be done about it. Prior to the establishment of TAE, she was an editor of The Oil Drum Canada, where she wrote on peak oil and finance.
Foss ran the Agri-Energy Producers' Association of Ontario, where she has focused on farm-based biogas projects and grid connections for renewable energy. While living in the UK she was a Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, where she specialized in nuclear safety in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, and conducted research into electricity policy at the EU level.
Her academic qualifications include a BSc in biology from Carleton University in Canada (where she focused primarily on neuroscience and psychology), a post-graduate diploma in air and water pollution control, the common professional examination in law and an LLM in international law in development from the University of Warwick in the UK.
