Description:
In this episode, we dive into the challenges shaping our society today and lessons from the past:
Historical Narratives: Are we teaching accurate history, or is revisionism skewing our understanding of indigenous cultures and colonialism?
JFK Assassination & Systemic Resistance: What Kennedy’s presidency reveals about the entrenched power structures that block true reform—and how this applies to Trump’s challenges today.
Consumerism & Waste: The environmental and societal costs of Amazon’s "buy now" culture, planned obsolescence, and e-waste.
Societal Decline: How reliance on convenience and loss of practical skills are setting us up for failure in times of crisis.
The Elite Myth: Are today’s elites as competent as they claim, or are they a liability in times of change?
We also explore solutions: fostering resilience, building counter-elite movements, and preparing for inevitable resets in government and society. With a mix of historical analysis, hard truths, and actionable insights, this episode is both sobering and empowering.
