About this episode

The episode discusses predictions of civil unrest and societal collapse, emphasizing the impact of screen addiction and disconnection on the potential for violence.

My civil war prediction was RIGHT—both sides now openly discuss violence, leftists advocate murdering opponents, and every historic indicator points to collapse. But we haven't erupted because something VASTLY WORSE is happening: Mouse Utopia. Screen addiction, complete authority failure, and total societal atomization mean people are too drugged and disconnected to organize conflict. We've entered the behavioral sink's final phase—right before mass violence begins. The missing variable makes everything infinitely more terrifying. -- LINKS: Link to my second podcast on world history and interviews: / @history102-qg5oj Link to my Twitter-https://twitter.com/whatifalthist?ref...
