  • Episode #6 - How to Re-Engineer a Society

    The Second Golden Age Podcast is a show where we discuss everything from history, politics, science and most importantly, education - all with a view to reverse engineering what once made us great, and to bring about a second golden age, insha’allah.  

    With the release of Episode 4 of Season 2 of our Second Golden Age Series, on how advanced Baghdad was, we have been speaking a lot about how to build a city and society up from scratch. 

    But how do you destroy it?   

    Well, you can do what the Mongols did, and invade - like they did in Baghdad.  

    Or you can be more subtle and re-engineer a society from within...  

    There's also an article that accompanies this which you can check out here: https://medium.com/kn-ow/how-to-re-engineer-a-society-3b9dc7eb23ea
