Interview for "Planet: Critical" (Patreon)

Low Tech Life | Kris De Decker

Tech is getting in the way of life. Life is made beautiful by the myriad possibilities that evolve—spontaneously—from interactions in the world. A look shared between strangers, a joke passed from customer to barista, a story swapped, a birdsong heard. But these possibilities are diminishing with every tech substitution for interaction. Tech gets in the way. I'm joined by journalist and founder of Low Tech Magazine, Kris De Decker, to discuss the difference between high tech and low tech; the zealous and unfounded faith in tech crippling our climate decisions; the relationship between tech, finance, economies and state control; and how a low tech lifestyle is liberating. This is a beautiful conversation with someone really walking the walk when it comes to sustainability—and reaping the rewards. 🔴 Low Tech Magazine: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ 🔴 Brett Scott and Altered States of Monetary Consciousness: https://www.asomo.co/ 🌎 Support Planet: Critical: https://www.patreon.com/planetcritical 🌎 Subscribe: https://www.planetcritical.com/ 🌎 Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrisisReports
