    We’re Living on the Edge of Extinction - It’s Time to Think Differently | General Sir Richard Barrons

    ⚠️ Content warning: This episode explores themes that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised. 💬 Humanity’s challenges are piling up - from the climate crisis to threat of global war and AI-driven extinction. There’s a lot at stake. But there is hope - if action is taken now. As we live through some of the most turbulent times in our history, we need a complete overhaul of our mental models. A thinking upgrade. Only if we learn to think better can we make the decisions needed to improve our future. ⚡ In this episode, recorded on 7th September 2026, we’re joined by General Sir Richard Barrons, former Commander of Joint Forces Command - one of the UK military’s most important figures. For the last 10 years he’s been working to improve the UK’s defence and security. And he brings a stark warning for our future - that humanity is “living and leading on the edge of extinction”.
