JON ASKONAS: Building a Future in the Face of the Apocalypse

Jon Askonas is a professor of politics at Catholic University. He’s also a very smart guy and I’ve long wanted to get him on the podcast.

He recently wrote an interesting piece for Comment magazine on how Americans went from seeing technology as a source of progress to viewing it as leading us to an apocalypse. So I took the opportunity to get him on to talk about it.

We discuss: How and why did this shift take place? Why are we so anxious? How should we live in this age of anxiety?
