Show Notes
Miyazaki recognition
This is Miles’ favorite. Chris doesn’t generally love Miyazaki but really really loves Totoro.
Environmentalism in Media
Processing human-caused catastrophe. We previously explored this in our Godzilla episode with Miles. Miyazaki was inspired by Minamata disease.
Aircraft
irl Nausicaa glider!
Rewilding
The ways in which humanity is worse than poison. Thriving of wildlife in our absence. Predators.
What is nature
Colloquial definitions versus recognition that we are part of nature and not really separate from it.
Technology Anxiety
Nuclear power safety and the negative effects of fossil fuels. Recognizing the relative safeness and harm. Being responsible with our technology.
Preservation
Of knowledge and technology over epochal time. Infrastructure and production. The scientific method as essential technology.
