Paul Kingsnorth: The Myth of The Machine | Full-Length Interview

In this interview, we discuss what Kingsnorth terms “The Myth of the Machine”: the machining of every aspect of humanity, the Earth, and our being within it. We discuss the importance of resisting enclosure on all levels, and the pernicious myths that are reinforcing the commodification and standardization of the world. We talk about the factory farming of the world as part of this mechanizing process, and we discuss how this impacts us on a spiritual level. We talk about the myth of The Garden of Eden, the loss of our indigeneity, and the Faustian bargain that the environmental movement is making as it leans away from analyzing the fundamental problems within our civilization.
