On this week’s episode, Richard Bradbury and Matt Armitage are taking on more of your burning questions in another wide-ranging AMA. Topics veer from the sustainability of EV and lithium-ion battery cell production to the geopolitics of rare earth metals to the battle for food.

Is population growth outpacing food production, or is climate instability the bigger threat? How will AI reshape education, jobs, and society itself? And on a lighter note: which sci-fi dystopia do we seem to be replicating in real life?
