This panel represents a braintrust focused on analyzing risk and being circumspect about our current predicament. Sterlin, Erin, Atin, and Keith will tackle difficult questions about whether we are responsibly moving into the future or if we are accelerating the polycrisis.

The question is this:

is d/acc enough? Or are we simply cosplaying as protectors of Earth’s biomes and champions of human survivability?
