This is episode is the third part of our Emotion Sickness series on the politics of feelings. Click here for part 1 and part 2.

• If we are disengaging from politics, what is the associated feeling - resentment or resignation?

• Why are our times "hypermodern" – and why is this exhausting?

• What can the examples of the 'great resignation', 15-minute cities, and postliberalism all tell us about the ways people are withdrawing from modernity?

• Why do we need to decelerate to save modernity?

• How might we gain control of time?
