The arms over the chest, lifting the t-shirt at the sentimental bits. So much discomfort… and then release. Oh boys. Oh humans. ❤️🩹 @teddyswims
For a woman living in a late capitalist culture, one invariably reaches an age (40, give or take) at which one becomes invisible, writes Sarah Wilson. “Desire can no longer be marketed to us, nor can anything we do or say be sold as desirable to other demographics. We are neither nubile potential procreator nor homely grandmother. We occupy a wholly liminal space between roles deemed valuable by the market system. “But not in Paris.” ⬆️ @_sarahwilson_ shares her experience at the link in @theipaper’s bio.

Same. Consuming takes energy. And it takes it away from more important things, like creating. I don’t shop, I don’t acquire… because I want to spend my precious time on this planet LIVING. I watch rich people frittering away their lives by moving their money around the planet. MEMO TO RICH PEOPLE: just stop!!

The Internet delivers… although for how much longer 🤷🏽♀️
I think we will wake up soon and discover it’s all been an episode of Punk’d (The Remake).
Collectivist, pro-social, socialist-leaning policies cough up. Just saying..:
Dump from my two weeks at French language school @institutdefrancais 🇫🇷 in Villefranche…meals cooked, mountains climbed, late swims and outstanding new friends.
Apparently the French get the significance….when in St Tropez 🇫🇷❤️

Sharing from the team @un_ocha because the message is important and we must demand more from those in power. How much more do those in power need to see before they act? It’s time they #ActForHumanity! International humanitarian law is being violated, and civilians and aid workers are paying the price. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, @muzoonalmellehan added her voice. Add yours and share.
Adore this 🥰 @mantalks
Perspective. Watch to the end 🇵🇸 and follow @motaz_azaiza if you don’t already ❤️
Hiking en haut St Tropez 🇫🇷🇦🇺 with a lot of ❤️#sarahwilsonhikes
Wild is back with a powerful conversation with Professor Clive Hamilton, one of the planet’s OG climate minds. Known for his decades-long fight for emissions reduction, Clive has shifted his stance, arguing that climate mitigation is no longer possible—or responsible. Instead, he believes we should focus on surviving and thriving on a heating planet. In this chat, the Charles Sturt University professor and “living legend” among Australian scholars dives into insights from his latest book, Living Hot: Surviving and Thriving on a Heating Planet. We discuss why Saul Griffith’s “electrify everything” campaign is flawed, where the safest places to live are, and what we should now be fighting for. Plus, we touch on the surprising role of class and private schools in our survival. Clive’s past works, including Requiem for a Species, Growth Fetish, and Affluenza, have shaped the climate conversation, and this one is no different. I hope you enjoy it! #ClimateCrisis #SurvivalStrategies #CliveHamilton #WildwithSarahWilson

On wild this week I’m chatting with Dr. Nick Bryant, the former BBC Washington correspondent and author, about the big issues shaking up America right now. From school shootings to conspiracy theories, Trump to George Floyd—Nick says this turmoil is part of the country’s DNA. 🇺🇸 We dive into his latest book, The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict with Itself, and cover everything from the upcoming election to Gaza, RFK Jr., Project 25, and more. Catch this eye-opening convo via the in my bio and wherever you like to listen 🎧 @nickbryantnyc @penguinbooksaus #WildWithSarahWilson #NickBryant #America #Politics #NewPodcastEpisode
Wild is taking a short break, but I wanted to share some of my previous interviews with guests who delve into themes of collapse, the meta-crisis, and the decline of the systems we’ve always known to grow—like GDP, technology, population, and prosperity. Many of you have joined my book serialization project on Substack, where we’re navigating the collapse awareness journey together. These interviews provide valuable context for our journey. You can join us on Substack if you’re not already part of the project. I release one chapter of my book at a time, and we discuss its contents in the comments, tackling this big, beautiful, hard thing as a community, step by step. In the meantime, enjoy this wild conversation with Gaya Herrington, who hit headlines with her analysis of the 1972 MIT study predicting global collapse by 2040. Gaya’s book, “Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse,” offers surprising solutions. Gaya’s message is stark: Economic growth must stop now! We explore how systems theory works, why we’re obsessed with growth and why rich white men resist change the most. #wildwithsarahwilson #CollapseAwareness #GlobalLimits #gayaherrington

Here’s the second episode in our Collapse Series running during my Euro summer break. I hope you enjoy this wild and challenging conversation with Meg Wheatley 💛🌎 Margaret (Meg) Wheatley, is a legend in collapse theory and global leadership, and has 50 years of experience in systems analysis, chaos theory, and deep spiritualism. Author of 12 books, including “Who Do We Choose to Be?” and “Restoring Sanity,” she guides us in becoming the leaders we want to see amid global crises. Meg has researched the collapse of civilisations throughout history and is a leading voice among a community of scientists, economists, historians and philosophers who are arguing that our civilisation is also currently heading toward collapse During our chat, we discuss the role of the rich, the futility of “saving the world,” and finding meaning in despair. @berkana_institut #WildwithSarahWilson #CollapseSeries #MegWheatley
Here’s the final episode in our Collapse Series, with Wild returning next week with all new eps. In the meantime, I’m excited to share this profound conversation with Jonathon Rowson. — Jonathan Rowson (chess Grandmaster, metamodernist philosopher) is one of Britain’s biggest minds and I have invited him onto Wild to talk, well, what’s been dubbed the “meta-crisis” – the fundamental “meaning” crisis at the heart of “all the things” going on in the world today. Jonathan is a theoretical psychologist with degrees from Oxford and Harvard and a Ph.D on what it means to become wiser. He has worked on “complex collective action” problem solving, was Director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts and has run events with David Attenborough and Jordan Peterson (not on the same stage!). Jonathan now runs Perspectiva, a research institute that seeks to understand the relationship between systems, souls, and society. This is a big chat, but I think you’ll find this new and wild idea a helpful navigational tool for, well, “all the things”. #CollapseSeries #JonathanRowson #MetaCrisis
We are coming to the end of our Collapse Series, with only two eps to go. I hope you enjoy this deep dive into the complexities of the “green” energy transition and climate security issues with Olivia Lazard. Olivia Lazard (peace mediator, rare minerals expert) reveals the hidden flaws in the “green” energy transition that many assume will solve the climate crisis. As a fellow at Carnegie Europe and a global security advisor, Olivia explains how the mining and extraction of rare earth metals like lithium, graphite, and cobalt—crucial for the green economy—are limited, ecologically damaging, and destabilizing the world in ways few comprehend. In this conversation, we explore climate security issues, debunk the “AI and innovation will save us!” mindset, and discuss the realities of geo-engineering. Despite the “heady” topics, Olivia brings in “heart” considerations that resonate deeply. We end by questioning whether we have “hope.” #CollapseSeries #OliviaLazard #ai #Climate #WildWithSarahWilson
Hello, dear wild friends! Here’s the third episode in our Collapse Series running during my short break. Nate Hagens (energy futurist) realised while on Wall Street that we lack the energy to fund the world’s economy. Now, he’s a global leader in energy systems, directing the Institute for the Study of Energy & Our Future, serving on the Post Carbon Institute board, and advising governments worldwide. Nate and I met in Stockholm to discuss these issues. In this chat, we cover why green growth isn’t possible, EVs aren’t the answer, and his concept of the “Great Simplification” for living post-collapse. This conversation changes everything, even my views on the climate crisis. #wildwithsarahwilson #collapse #CollapseSeries #NateHagens #GreatSimplification
