Ne Plus Ultra - Episode 9: Sun Tzu Said That

from Comrade Cast · host Spencer Downing

Welcome everyone to the ninth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Sun Tzu Said That. Sun Tzu, the man, the myth, the legend. That is what we discuss today. Despite the rather ambiguous evidence surrounding Sun Tzu's existence, he has still managed to propel himself to the rank of a house hold name worldwide. His only work, the Art of War has managed to transcend his time and space and can be bought in bookstores anywhere. Why is this? Why has the Art of War spoken to so many of us on such a deep level? Can the Art of War still guide us in a modern world? We answer all these questions and more in today's episode! Come and join me if you will as we try and unravel the legend that is Sun Tzu. In the second segment of the podcast, we address some criticisms of the last episode, talk about the future Canadian Empire, and tackle the controversial subject of safe spaces. It's another wild ride for the part of your brain that enjoys the finer things here on Ne Plus Ultra. Stay thinking my friends. -Spencer
