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. This is a show for those who love academics but hate academia, and want to learn about social studies without the constraining limits of woke universities.

losses in war are on a spectrum. I discuss a few different wars and what the loss meant for the nation losing the war, then contemplate what this could mean for the future of the United States.

Often in history this means pillaging both people and material objects. T...
