"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, CultureThe Anthropology of KarensWe study foreign cultures anthropologically but examine our own only through sociology—which has become 99% leftist propaganda. This means we're experiencing history's most rapid social changes with almost no honest intellectual analysis! This episode examines "Karens"—those entitled middle-aged women demanding managers—as symbols of a much larger, civilization-destroying trend. Like my previous deep-dives into "NPCs" and "incels," this seemingly silly internet meme actually reveals profound truths about Western society's decay.🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj--2024-05-2445 min
"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, CultureThe Coming Population CrashWe've isolated ourselves from history, limiting our vocabulary to understand coming catastrophes. While we worship "progress," Earth has always been a blood-soaked video game map—with tribal warfare regularly killing 40% of males per generation. Population collapses occur roughly every 300 years, but the impending 21st century demographic crash will dwarf all previous ones. It's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to avoid a world population at least 50% smaller by 2100.🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj--S...2024-05-1543 min
