In this episode, we postulate that the west is sinking into another Dark Age, and point to various markers leading us to this hypothesis. We discuss free speech, the hegemony of Big Tech, the adherence to tribalism, the reliance on institutional authority, the problems with putting ideology before reality, the hubris coming off the heels of society’s massive technological achievements, and ultimately the downside of democracy.
