1-07 Chaos Emerges

from The Emperor Is a Hostage: Universities and Truth

Chaos is not evil. It's not rebellion, sabotage, or moral failure. It's what happens when a system built on truth stops being governed by truth — and keeps running anyway.In this episode, we enter the Warp for the first time. We look at what Chaos actually is in Warhammer 40,000, framing it not as a threat from outside, but as an environment that emerges from within. We examine the Eye of Terror, the fall of Horus, and the tragedy of the Thousand Sons.And we ask the question that makes everything else in this series possible: If the university still believes in truth, if everyone inside it still says the right words, how does Chaos get in?The answer isn't what you expect.More details can be found in the book https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GCFWD29C Hosted on Acast.
