The 10,000 Year Problem
The 10,000 Year Problem Ten thousand years ago, humans lived differently. Before the era of kings, borders, and ownership, we were cooperative and deeply connected. We had enough. Then, something changed. This podcast is an inquiry into that change. Was it inevitable? What was lost? And most importantly: can we get any of it back? I'm Chris Burcher. Through conversations with scientists, thinkers, and those doing the hard work of imagining a new way forward, I'm exploring who we were, who we are, and who we want to be. This isn't about romanticizing the past—it's about understanding it so we can survive the present. Subscribe now to join the journey.
