Why does rapid social progress often trigger a fierce authoritarian backlash? It’s not just ideology—it’s physics.

In this episode, we dive into the Thermodynamics of Governance to explore how the human brain functions as a "prediction engine" desperate to minimize the chaos of a changing world. We uncover the biological "speed limit" of social change, revealing how the Free Energy Principle drives voters toward traditionalism when cultural "entropy" gets too high. From the cognitive tax of new pronouns to the evolutionary roots of the "scarcity mindset," discover why the election of strongman leaders is actually a collective biological defense mechanism against the trauma of the unknown. Join us as we dismantle the myth of the rational voter and expose the neuro-evolutionary wiring that demands order at any cost.
