Around every corner, it feels like the world is more divided than ever. Politics, economics, culture, identity, and even holidays can become battlefields of ideas. In this episode, we step back from the noise and look at division and conflict through a historical lens, exploring how power, money, and narrative shape the relationship between those at the top and the everyday people underneath.
In this episode:
🧠 Why it feels like "we've never been this divided" and how history tells a more complicated story
🧠 How conflict over ideas has always existed and why it often flares up during times of economic stress
🧠 The role of power and purse: why those in control fight so hard to maintain their position and resources
🧠 How the populace pushes back and says "this is not right" when the system stops working for them
🧠 What past societies can teach us about the tensions we are living through right now
🧠 Why understanding economics is often the key to understanding conflict and division
🧠 How small moments, like Thanksgiving reflections, can reveal big truths about societal structures
At the end of the day, division is not just a headline or a talking point. It is the result of real power dynamics, economic systems, and human beings trying to make sense of their place in history. If this conversation challenged how you see what is happening around you, share it with someone who is also wrestling with these questions and keep the discussion going.
