Eurabiamania 83: The Second Council of Wizards
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.
