Peacewarts: Chronicled Courage 101 - The Future as History, The Year 2126 (Class 14) Episode Summary: In our final session for the Department of Chronicled Courage, we reframe our current actions as the historical record for the next century. We explore the "Normalization Trap," the shift toward ancestral responsibility, and the importance of creating legible systems of peace that outlast their creators.
