Pretty bleak episode, but fascinating. It feels so relevant to the current political environment. I'm curious to see where this arc will lead to and how relevant it will be to the present.

BRILLIANT, thank you for a great set of episodes! Please do one/a set on Leo Strauss. I think the idea of Liberalism should be questioned more, especially with the rise of Putin, and his recent interview in the FT

I’ve never read Schmitt. From your description it sounds very ought filled.

Pt.1 and 2 helped me to come up with arguments for a direct democratic system. Thank you very much, the structure of your podcast is very inspiring.

This seems to have made some important inroads into my current malaise. Immediately, though, I begin to wonder - if it all comes down to a sense of tribalism - if we can't reach a healthy level of identity and meaning in life without having someone or some group to oppose - what dignity or freedom is there to be had in living? Wouldn't this all be simply a very entertaining theatre of sorts?

Once you see the pattern you understand more of current events and the forces shaping them. Looks like we've had to re-learn the lessons... it's not just a matter of trolling online and thinking you're fixing the system. There are real consequences to not understanding modern history.

The purpose of life is to learn how to live it. By understanding these urges, there's a chance that we can transcend them and add one more stairstep to humanity's journey upwards.

It's been said, by Agent Smith in "The Matrix" - "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization."

Why isn't #134 on Patreon? I demand satisfaction!

Thank you, Stephen. This is the MOST enlightening podcast!

Re-listening to the last few episodes on 20th century in the light of recent events here in GB about Brexit and found them quite 'a propos'. As of yesterday Liberalism has taken a backseat to Dictatorship

These two episodes have helped me immensely in making sense of what is going on these days.
