In one of the most famous comedic movie scenes of all time, the delusional knight believes he can keep fighting (\u201cIt\u2019s just a flesh wound.\u201d) as geysers of blood spurt from his severed limbs. Similarly communities, corporations, and entire nations are clamoring for a return to normal after months of corona-induced quarantines, even though business as usual was already chopping the limbs off of planetary life-support systems and unjustly drawing blood from people in need all over the world. In the season finale of Crazy Town during this upside down year of 2020, it\u2019s only fitting that a return to \u201cnormal\u201d actually means a return to \u201ccrazy.\u201d For episode notes and more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postcarbon.org\/crazytown\/\">please visit our website<\/a> and sign up for our newsletter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/playpodca.st\/crazytown\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3480657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CT-listen-now-button-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CT-listen-now-button-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CT-listen-now-button-1-600x90.png 600w, https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CT-listen-now-button-1-304x46.png 304w, https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CT-listen-now-button-1-768x115.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Image credit: Anya Steuer<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the season finale of Crazy Town during this upside down year of 2020, it\u2019s only fitting that a return to \u201cnormal\u201d actually means a return to \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128238,"featured_media":3481846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[251744,79717,251746,79720,213535],"tags":[244545,217820],"class_list":["post-3481843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crazy-town","category-economy","category-podcasts","category-society","category-society-featured","tag-coronaviru-strategies","tag-crazy-town"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3481843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/128238"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3481843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3481843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3481846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3481843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3481843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resilience.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3481843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
