Summary: <p>”In the UK, we’re totally obsessed with home and property ownership, we’ll, that's my personal perspective.</p> <p>If someone buys a house next to a river, or on the coast, and experiences increasing levels of floods or erosion of that coast, devaluing or even threatening the existence of their property. Is it ever fair to blame others for their situation, or even expect the system to support them, by implementing flood and erosion mitigation measures, or even support them financially, so their investment value is sustained?</p> <p>Is this really a reflection though that many of the systems of the ‘civilized’ world are unsustainable, and an example of how the nomadic cultures are more adaptable to the ever changing natural world?</p> <p>It feels like the civilized world is literally behaving like King Canute, trying to hold back the tide, but I realise the nomadic cultures have their own issues too."</p> <p>Stuart and William delve into, investigate, explore and conversate around this question above, which was sent in by listener Ivan in Grindleford, Derbyshire, England.</p> <p>During this episode a stand-up routine by the comedian Bill Bailey is mentioned, here's a link to that piece: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECvwnV62pdc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECvwnV62pdc</a></p> <p>Get email notifications about future releases: <a href="http://bit.ly/34oQXkm" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/34oQXkm</a></p> <p>Do you have a question you'd like Stuart and William to examine, mull over, explore, discuss, delve into or debate?
