In this conversation, we talk about the current situation around the lock-down and current events while searching for the path to unity among humanity. From politics and fame to religion and empire, we analyze certain figures like Moses and Julius Caesar (in the video we got the dates wrong Caesar actually lived from 100BC - 44BC)

The Book of Numbers is often overlooked when looking at the Bible as a whole. much more than just a couple head counts and an extended jaunt through the dessert, This book acts as a window into a past culture that we are far from fully understanding. Our conversation covers population management, language barriers, education, The Art of War by Sun Tzu and even Nietzsche's Will to Power.
