World events keep derailing my civilization series! As a professional historian, I felt compelled to address the recent Rogan/Cooper podcast pushing the revisionist claim that Churchill was the villain of WWII who caused millions of deaths by refusing Hitler's peace offer. Let's examine what the historical evidence actually shows about this controversial take.

We're living through a historic inflection point where the left lost the presidency but still dominates virtually every Western institution. Despite their electoral defeat, they control the bureaucracy, UN, Big Tech, media, academia, and even the Catholic Church—while the right has built no alternative power structures. The burning question is what the left will actually DO with this paradoxical position, as their own leadership seems unsure following Trump's victory. Their next moves will inevitably shape our historical trajectory as history is carved into stone before our eyes.

Beyond the Big Four Eurasian civilizations (Europe, India, Middle East, China) that dominated 90% of humanity, there existed a fifth major player—not a civilization, but its opposite. The Steppe produced history's greatest conquerors despite having 1/100th the population and no cities or formal religions. These nomadic warriors influenced world history as much as any civilization, creating an anti-civilization power that repeatedly brought empires to their knees. The ultimate historical paradox: how could Mongolia conquer China with 1% of its population?

As a Zoomer, I process World Wars as ancient history despite their recent shadow. The 20th century stands in opposition to ALL previous human experience, rejecting thousands of years of shared wisdom. Our unprecedented wealth and technological power convinced us to believe things previous generations would find INSANE—that men and women are identical, money can be printed infinitely, and culture doesn't matter. Most shocking: we've built a totalitarian democracy so pervasive we don't even recognize it.

Reality operates through paradox—simultaneously everything and nothing, connected yet divided. The most revealing truth? People project their own nature onto their enemies. The left accuses the right of exactly what it does itself: institutional control, hatred, and power obsession. Modern civilization's greatest hypocrisy? Proudly championing "human rights" while systematically dehumanizing its population into interchangeable cogs. This isn't a bug—it's industrial society's primary function and underlying purpose.

Why are people SHOCKED by the obvious consequences of their actions? We print money and act surprised at inflation. We pursue godless lives and wonder why we feel empty. I've spent years asking the most accomplished people I know—CEOs, politicians, artists—how to live happily as a young man, and received NO satisfying answers. This episode identifies the 12 toxic cultural assumptions driving our collective misery and offers the only path forward: shattering these illusions completely.

Growing up with Catholic/Protestant parents showed me how ideas shape reality—and why people throughout history die for them. As a child, I couldn't understand why someone would sacrifice their life for beliefs. Now I realize justice isn't just an abstract concept—it's what separates America from Argentina. Reading Orwell's 1984 as a teenager horrified me, watching its predictions materialize around us as wokeness creates the perfect pathway to totalitarianism.

The World War-era historians—Spengler, Toynbee, Quigley—operated at intellectual levels we can't match today. Despite our "progress" myth, we've intellectually regressed. These giants accurately predicted our 21st century collapse: atheism, caesarism, social alienation, population decline. Their most urgent warning? BUREAUCRACY would destroy Western civilization if left unchecked. We ignored them, and now it's devouring everything that made our civilization great, exactly as they predicted.

Sick in Montpellier, France during the early virus days, surrounded by Yellow Vest protests and social decay, I read "The Great Wave" about inflation history at 2AM and experienced a horrifying revelation—everything suddenly connected. Like a horror movie where scattered clues form a terrifying pattern, I saw civilization's trajectory with perfect clarity. This profound realization changed my life and this channel forever, shifting my focus from alternate history to sharing the uncomfortable truths I'd discovered.

While history remained relatively objective, anthropology has been utterly destroyed by pseudoscience—THREE-QUARTERS of Amazon's top anthropology books are scientifically fraudulent! My research across multiple fields has uncovered something unprecedented: the 20th century pulled off the most astonishing deception in human history. Despite unprecedented access to information and "intellectual freedom," our supposedly advanced civilization embraced absurdities our descendants will mock us for believing. This discovery is so enormous that those who see it feel momentarily insane.

Unlike the left's coherent ideology (blank slate humans + social engineering = utopia), the right isn't unified except in OPPOSING leftism. Taliban, neocons, libertarians, and religious fundamentalists share little beyond rejecting progress-worship. This episode explores four distinct conservative factions navigating modernity's central question: as humans gain godlike industrial powers, how much traditional wisdom do we preserve? The 200-year battle between machine-followers and those brave (or mad) enough to resist progress.

We know nothing about what we're closest to—like toxic relationships we can't recognize. Today's society is arguably history's most ABSURD, yet we refuse to study ourselves anthropologically. Instead, we embrace untested stupidities: blank slate theory, cultural equivalence, gender sameness. This series examines modern political tribes through the same objective lens we'd use on Amazonian cultures. First up: the origins, strengths, weaknesses and character of the left. The findings will shock you.

Our era judges itself against utopian fantasies rather than real historical comparison—the ultimate intellectual sleight-of-hand. This episode exposes the shocking truth: your life is VASTLY harder than you realize. Examining economic, social, spiritual, and physical aspects reveals how normal young people today live objectively terrible lives despite our denial. When ancient wisdom across civilizations aligns with cutting-edge science against modern assumptions, the horror of what we've done to ourselves becomes breathtaking.

The Political Compass—created by libertarians to separate themselves from fascism—works fine for modern Western politics but COMPLETELY BREAKS when applied to history. Why are Medieval Europe, the Taliban, and Imperial Japan all crammed into "authoritarian right"? This episode introduces the Political Triangle, a superior anthropological model that can accurately map EVERY society in human history, revealing deeper patterns than the simplistic right-left divide dominating our current era.

As a child, I heard about a comic-book villain called the Unabomber—a Harvard mathematician turned terrorist who wanted to destroy civilization. Fast-forward to our current sci-fi dystopia, and attitudes have dramatically shifted. Among disaffected young men, "Uncle Ted" Kaczynski has become a prophet whose warnings seem increasingly prescient. Following his prison suicide last year, this episode examines whether the Unabomber's critique of technology and society was actually correct.

The Founder Effect by Samo Burja -
Germany's bizarre 1919-1933 "psychedelic trip" between conservative militarism periods offers disturbing parallels to America today. While surrounding decades were prudish and structured, Weimar exploded with sexual degeneracy and cultural chaos—exactly like our current era. This strange historical anomaly wasn't just a random blip—it was the unheeded warning before catastrophe. The similarities are far more extensive and influential than most realize.

The Middle Ages didn't apologize for human nature—barbarian invasions, heretic burnings, and noble oppression were called what they were. Today we do EXACTLY the same things (often worse) but hide behind modern labels: Taliban becomes "insurgents," cancel culture replaces witch hunts, and poverty-inducing policies become "economic reality." America is currently experiencing a four-faction religious war that will determine history's course, yet we refuse to recognize it because "that doesn't happen anymore."

Fire in the Minds of Men by Billington -
Experts studying specific historical topics often reach conclusions OPPOSITE to public belief. Today's economy follows this pattern—"great on paper" while visibly failing outside your window. Despite glowing official numbers, real-world indicators tell a different story: household finances, quality of life measures, and cost of living reveal a crumbling reality. This episode exposes how elites manipulate statistics to maintain the façade while everyday Americans struggle beneath mounting evidence that something is fundamentally broken.

The Master and His Emissary by Ian McGhilchrist -
Reality is a cone—different civilizations grasp different sections and heights. Indian philosophy sees reality as divine illusion, Africans lack our concept of time, and medieval Europe had three incompatible time systems. The most shocking revelation? Historians have IRREFUTABLE evidence that premodern elite priest classes shared a secret worldview completely alien to ours—knowledge that profoundly shaped history while remaining hidden from ordinary people. This rabbit hole changed my entire perception of reality.
