Everything You’ve Been Told About Pre-History is Wrong

from The Truth · host Media Network

It’s the question that will come to define our lives: is our society going to collapse? But the field of collapse research is fragmented, chaotic, and often just plain deranged. Who can you trust? Luke Kemp is the author of Goliath’s Curse and a Research Affiliate at the Cambridge University Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. And he’s also a political radical. He told Richard Hames about how close we’ve got to the same tipping point that brought down every other empire in history, why states are criminal gangs in disguise, and why Rome was the ISIS of its day. Do Your Own Research is a new show from Novara Media about the systems that make the modern world possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support.
