In this discussion, Cynthia Chung speaks with Vince and Brandi (hosts of the Campus Earth Curriculum on the Grass Roots Warrior Network) to discuss her work on history, philosophy, cultural warfare and solutions.
Years ago, you wrote a wonderful article about how Iran was about to cut a financial deal with Germany & France threatening the newly installed Petrodollar, therefore the Shah had to go before he made Iran great again. Because you sowed that thought into my mind it irks me to no end that all alternative commentators use the standard talking points that the Iranian revolution was a grassroots affair and not a Psy-op from the money mongering elites. ¿Any chance you might revisit this? You heroically stand alone on this and I for one believe you nailed it correctly.
I'm struggling to fit this narrative onto the basics of the Nation State, so bear with me if our shared experience does not quite mesh.
Complexity and emergence suggests that similarity of Agents, followed by increasing connectivity leads to the emergence of language, to shared experience, and thus to national boundaries, legal system, political system and its form of money.
Hence something beyond what we observe when we see a murmuring of starlings.
The questions begin with Agents within the system who are dissimilar to a greater or lesser extent.
So, harmony, more or less, thus far.
A Nation State System with Agents that are entirely dissimilar to the extent that some seek the destruction of the Nation State System, seems to me to be not the best place to begin a discussion.
