We use two sources, The Transition Integrity Project report titled "Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition" and an article written by game designer Mike Selinker titled "A wargame designer defines our four possible civil wars." to analyze four different outcomes of the election and the possibility of each leading to a second Civil War in the United States.

In this video, we delve into the fascinating theory of Charles Tilly, a renowned political scientist who argued that states are not inherently peaceful and benevolent entities, but rather emerged from war-making and are essentially akin to organized crime. Drawing on Tilly's influential book "Coercion, Capital, and European States," we explore how states throughout history have used violence, intimidation, and exploitation to maintain their power and extract resources from their subjects. From medieval knights and modern armies to tax collectors and bureaucracies, we see how the state's monopoly on legitimate violence has shaped our world and influenced our lives.
This 46-minute video challenges us to reconsider our assumptions about the nature and role of the state in society. Whether you are a student of politics, a curious learner, or a concerned citizen, this video will broaden your perspective and deepen your understanding of the complex and contested phenomenon of the state.
So sit back, relax, and join us on this journey of discovery and reflection. Don't forget to like, comment, and share this video with your friends and followers.

Continuing our series on the apocalypse, we discuss the chapter "Dying of Happiness: Utopia at the End of this World" in Maria Manuel Lisboa's book "The End of the World: Apocalypse and its Aftermath in Western Culture" and the idea that utopia itself might bring about the apocalypse. We use examples such as Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan", Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", and many others.

Station Eleven is a post-apocalyptic mini-series based on a novel of the same name. My favorite part was when the young boy (Tyler) ask what would happen if he just deleted the capitalism wiki page once and for all? This didn't result in a long conversation in the series but it certainly made me chuckle.
