	Description:		British philosopher and environmentalist Timothy Morton is regarded as the most powerful figure in the contemporary art world. Tim - who goes by the pronoun “they" - has worked with Bjork, Jeff Bridges, Pharrell Williams, NASA and on Steve Coogan’s series The Trip. They've also written more than 250 essays on ecology, Mary Shelley, gastronomy, Talking Heads, Heidegger and… concrete. They’ve also published 17 books; the latest is Hyposubjects: on becoming human. Me, I read his work as a pleasurable brain sport and I draw on some of his ideas in my book ‘This One Wild and Precious Life’, but Tim is also a deeply generous and compassionate man with an intimate understanding of why we struggle to solve the climate crisis and face our demise. We share our sadness around all this in this chat. All of Tim's ideas are wild, so instead of focusing on one wild idea, I fired a bunch of questions, rapid fire. My friends, be prepared for some genre-traversing calisthenics.
