When East Meets West with Kenaz Filan and Ahnaf Ibn-Qais

John Michael Greer, an expert on civilization's decline, teams up with Malcolm Kyeyune, a voice on non-Western perspectives, for a lively discussion. They delve into the darker themes of societal decay, contrasting Western eucatastrophes with culturally diverse narratives. Literature around heroism gets critiqued, particularly in the context of war. The duo humorously addresses political ideologies, migration dynamics in Europe, and California's looming environmental crisis. All this leads to a thought-provoking critique of modern storytelling versus deeper cultural narratives.

Blue Vir, author of “The Emerging Neomedieval Order”, joins Kenaz and Ahnaf for this episode. We discuss the madness of European and American bureaucrats, speculate about what role China will play in Australia’s future. Tune in, turn on, and enjoy a hot steaming cup of DOOM from Down Under.Blue VirAhnaf Ibn-QaisKenaz Filan Get full access to Notes from the End of Time with Kenaz Filan at www.notesfromtheendofti.me/subscribe

What does that mean for America? Find out when we sit down with Eddie “Aspen” Smith and Cleveland Blakemore for a chat about what this means for the West.
