An introduction to the ideas of this podcast, and an overview of where it’s going. Also, I talk a bit about tyranny. Which is a bad thing, generally.
I think that if you want to understand the world that we live in today, it actually helps to understand the important events of history. Are we today moving into a new, progressive utopia, or are we instead sliding towards chaos? Or tyranny? How do you answer that question? How do you analyze our current situation? Well, it helps if you have some understanding of other times in history that were similar.
