031 - Cycles of Crisis, Order, Reform Part 2
Part 2 from last week, episode 030. This episode recaps the cycles of institutional and socio-economic change from George Friedman's "Storm Before the Calm".

030 - Cycles of Crisis, Order, Reform Part 1
This episode is a little bit different and will have to be split up into two parts. This week, I discuss the Concept of Institutional and socio-economic cycles.

000 - Illegitimate Scholar TRAILER
Our culture is in crisis and I don’t trust woke universities and authoritarian governments to give us the solution. I examine modern culture through history and anthropology, as well as other sources like indigenous knowledge and common sense.
