The world feels stranger every day; and if you’re sensing it too, you’re not alone. In this introductory episode to my Civilisation Crash Course, I explore how we were born in order to move towards some bigger questions: what does free will mean when algorithms shape our beliefs and moods? How do we navigate an increasingly authoritarian world without losing ourselves?We’ll wrestle with questions of power, tolerance, identity, and what it means to be human in a world that demands we update ourselves like machines.Featuring reflections on history, philosophy, and the cosmic perspective of Carl Sagan, this episode kicks off the Civilization Crash Course, a series about understanding humanity’s past to better grasp our future.Tune in for truth, tangents, and maybe even some hope.Email me:
