@37:10 "Clash of Civilizations" by Samuel Huntington. He was not wrong about it for the past decades, but I hope to hell next decades will destroy his thesis. The European apes who colonized America still want that clash. Huntington kind of made it a bit self-fulfilling by suggesting the clash. I'm really enjoying listening to Asad. I hope his "some thoughts on peace" will get out and permeate a few consciousnesses.
This is the weakest podcast from historic.ly I have listened to, thus far.
The entire podcast is touchy feely - and eerily disjointed even then.
Supposed economists are talking about the soul.
Climate change is an agreed upon societal problem between the 2 people talking, but there is no analysis whatsoever on the scope or scale needed to combat it (regardless of belief in whether it is a problem or not) - we just need to be more "feeling" people in order to make things right.
Great article. I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but will. I disagree that the core problem is the mass exploitation of the poor. I believe the core problem is private property that produces income (not personal property for consumption). Income requires employment. This is different from work. Employment means there is an employer and an employed. The employed does not own property while the employer does. This relationship is a zero sum relationship that is predicated on Malthusian/Darwinian falsehoods of the necessity of intra-social competition.
The only way to end unemployment is to end employment. All property must be communal and all work voluntary. All goods and services must be free. We, together, must plan our society as free men and women. No leaders.

"The core problem in our society is not "capitalism" or "the free market", per se, but rather the mass exploitation of the poor."
Mass exploitation of the poor, alternating with mass indifference to the poor, has been government policy since ancient Roman times.
