The twentieth episode of The Story of Nowhere Podcast analyzes the critical impact that cybernetic theory - defined as the study of communication and control in the animal and the machine - is having on our increasingly technological society. A ruling class's ability to control its subjects is largely determined by its ability to catalog its subjects and the resources they harvest, and mass-communication technologies such as the internet make such cataloging - and therefore control - more possible now than ever before.

Scott Hambrick of OnlineGreatBooks.com joins in this episode to discuss the impact of the Age of Enlightenment through a critical lens. Using Francis Bacon's document "The Great Instauration" (1620) as a spring-board, we attempt to answer the questions, "What was the Enlightenment?" "Did it work?" and "Was it good?" In this episode we shake the foundations of Modernity.

As a conclusion to the series on the origins of the British Empire, this episode summarizes the history of global Britannia from the 17th century to the 20th. Though it was originally built, in part, upon a Medieval Golden Age Myth, as the Empire expanded it became animated more and more by the promise of a future scientific Utopia.

In Part 2 of "Myth, Empire, and Utopia: The Rise and Rule of Britannia," the pseudo-historical Golden Age Myth which was used to justify the creation of an expansive British Empire is looked at in detail. This study displays the importance of manufactured "court" history and Utopian rhetoric in modern imperial statecraft.

This episode begins a series of shows on the origins of history's largest empire, that of Great Britain. The historical, ideological, and mythical context in which the Empire was formed is discussed in detail in this episode, setting the stage for the next episode, in which there will be a thorough dissection of the bizarre and generally-unknown Utopian legend which was offered as a legal justification for the creation of the Empire itself.

In this episode, I reflect on my time at the annual Midwest Peace & Liberty Fest, and the value I derived from it.
