Silent Duties: Our Forgotten Allegiances...

We like to think civic duty is simple: vote, pay taxes, maybe show up for jury duty. But what happens when we trade discipline for comfort, when we start expecting someone else to carry the weight of citizenship for us? In this episode, Nova unpacks how small acts of responsibility, or the lack of them, ripple outward into a culture of dependency, frustration, and blame. From a slow night at a restaurant to the billionaires we love to resent, the question is not just who is in power, it is whether we have left the table empty in the first place.
