From Philosopher Kings to Billionaire Oligarchs with Tad Delay

He explores why people crave servitude, the connection between historical democratic movements and our current crises, and critiques the power dynamics of billionaire oligarchs like Peter Thiel. The conversation touches on the normalization of violence, social media's fake happiness, and the urgent need to revive shame about dishonesty as a political virtue, painting a complex yet oddly hopeful picture of our times.
