Where Left and Right Actually Come From

Where did "left" and "right" come from? A single room in 1789 France. This episode traces the origin of the political spectrum from the Estates-General to the Cold War, then asks the harder question: does centrism have real intellectual foundations, or is it just a rejection of extremes? We explore the Third Way, radical centrism, and why the middle keeps moving even when voters don't. Episode #388147 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/388147
