The Illusion of "Knowing What You're Doing": A Good Friday Message | Perhaps with Damon Garcia 036 YouTube video by Perhaps with Damon Garcia

NEW PODCAST! Best, coolest, weirdest, specialist episode of all time tbh. This Good Friday I'm thinking about systems, agency, the nature of reality, the inseparability of particles, and what Jesus meant when he said on the cross, "They don't know what they’re doing.”

While Christianity facilitated the emergence of capitalism, it never did so without internal opposition. Christians on the underside of capitalism speaking up for themselves and the lives of oppressed people have always found conflict with other Christians privileging the imperative of economic growth at all costs. Degrowth prompts us to rediscover the prophetic critiques of growth and the communitarian commitments, the other tools within Christianity, that could destabilize the idol of economic growth.
