The "What is Money?" Show

Michael Sullivan joins the show to explore humanity’s fragile relationship with nature, the consequences of technological overreach, and why attempts to “play God” often backfire.

They explore ecological imbalance, moral responsibility, and the sobering reality that human beings are not separate from the systems they manipulate — we are embedded within them.
