Humankind has never before faced challenges of the scale and complexity of today. In a hyper-globalised world hurtling towards environmental destruction, how do we determine the right actions? Do our individual efforts to avoid plastic or air travel, or to drive electric, make any real difference?

We need to expand our ethical toolkit. The mental tools most of us rely on to ‘do the right thing’ just don’t work when it comes to reasoning about such huge collective problems. From the small stuff like single-use plastics to major decisions like whether to have children, Rieder defines exactly how we can change our thinking and lead a decent, meaningful life in a scary, complicated world. Here’s how to build your own catastrophe ethics.

Rieder argues and proposes useful ways to think and introspect about ones place in the world.
Validating and giving shape to some of my own ideas was useful to read.
However, its not effectively argued, how those with limited means are supposed to follow through with ethical decisions.
His friends are gifted land on which they have created a subsistence lifestyle; his own choices are from a place of financial security and privilege.
If you want to make ethical decisions on a low budget, it is almost impossible. You have to use factory farmed products and make do with the heating systems in your rented home and fossil-fueled transport.
Maybe that's the point, that those of us who have the privilege to do so, should do more.
I'm grateful for the questions the book poses.

It goes on and on and doesn't say much new. Found it quite a trying listen.

Very repetitive
