In this conversation, Jeremy Lent challenges the assumption that our global system is simply “broken.” Instead, he argues that it is functioning exactly as designed - optimizing for extraction, exploitation, and growth at all costs.
After building success within that system himself, he began to question its deeper consequences - and ultimately chose a different path.
From the historical roots of this worldview to the modern concentration of wealth and power, this episode reframes today’s crises as systemic outcomes rather than isolated failures, forcing a deeper reckoning with the structures we participate in.
