Roy Scranton returns to the podcast to discuss his new book, Impasse: Climate Change and the Limits of Progress, recently published by Stanford University Press.

Scranton describes our moment as an impasse. We struggle to narrativize and imagine our path through. The vision of our collective horizons is muddied by the sheer unknowability of what the near and distant future holds. Narratives of progress have brought us to this confluence of crises as complex global systems collapse and shift under the weight of material limits on a hotter, more chaotic world.

I've Been Waiting

Im on my grind

Vira y Cocha

Vira walks in lines of fire,
Sparks that flicker, climb, conspire nestles hands that never still,
a pulse that bends the world to will.

Cocha waits with patient breath, deep as night, serene as death.
Waves that fold and fall again,
a mirror soft yet vast, unchained.

When Vira leaps, the air turns thin,
Flames curl outwards, pulling in.
When Cocha stirs, the silence breaks,
and every echo shapes the wake

They are not storm, nor earth, nor sky,
but entities meeting, passing by.
Twi names, two threads, a woven chords
Vira and Cocha, never ignored

lyrics//
----------
Fell again, do you think you could help pick up the pieces?..
I been tryin' hard but lately it feel out of reach, when..
I’m so far gone, its fuck’d.. i’m up at night, no peace to sleep with..
This well I’m in has deepened..
My sense of safety cheapened..
Yet even if I’m lost, i feel that pull to where I’m needed..
I’ll grow this magic lil' life I’ve craved, i’m busy seeding..
Like royalty, the tables round surrounding where i’m seated..
I know there’s knights abound, this town is filled with heightened reason..
I work to learn my purpose..
I’ll put in every last percent I have till I deserve it..
& if I fall or falter.. no regrets, i’ll jus rework it..
Its progress over perfect..
This energy beneath my feet I leave forever surging..
The air i breathe into me deep, i’ve simplified to greed..
Elevate my mind & heart, i’m way up with the trees..
I’m swaying with the breeze.. no time for moment missin'..
I catch my footing even when it looks the sands are shiftin'..
Until i feel for real & see for me that veil has lifted..
Over wasting peace of mind & askin' for permission..
Or askin' for forgiveness.. i move with truth to witness..
The strength of which could kill my faults or conquer any sickness..
At times this power gained has left my brain so overwhelmed..
I met the mirror, i met my maker.. now I hold the helm..
The shaper of my realm.. the mold is what i make it..
I am the shield & sword, the chances forged are mine for takin'..
