WhyKnowledgeMatters

In a world dominated by social media, it's easy to chase after superficial appearances. As Yanik points out, "What do I really look for in life?" This fundamental question leads us to realize that what we truly seek is connection.

Personal and collective harmony depend on reconciling with both history and the present rather than rejecting either. By examining what each teaches and adjusting our thinking and behavior, we can turn experience into a more constructive vision for the future.

In this episode:

Trump’s biggest foreign-policy gamble may already be backfiring - and Edward Prisse says the real story is what happens next. From Iran “playing” Trump to the possibility of a midterm rout, impeachment, and a dangerous VP succession scenario, this conversation maps out the political shockwaves most people are not prepared for. Prisse, author of Sleeping with the Enemy: What the White House Still Misses on China, argues that Trump’s approach to Iran, Russia, North Korea, and Europe is not just chaotic - it is reshaping how allies and rivals view American power. He explains why Iran’s response is a waiting game, why Trump’s repeated misreads of strongmen matter, and why the next phase could trigger a dramatic shift in Washington.
