Lyceum Round-Table #79: The Conquest of the United States by Spain
I will be joined by Keith Preston, Swithun Dobson and Terminal Philosophy to discuss the very relevant speech "The Conquest of the United States by Spain" by William Graham Sumner warning America about the dangers of imperialism.
This is the final reading of Sutton's Wall Street and Hitler.

I just recently read the classic work by Richard Adams "Watership Down." It is an excellent work, worthy of inclusion into both the Western and English canons respectively. Tolkien's concept of eucatastrophe is the idea that something can go from bad to good unexpectedly and suddenly. This is often framed within the concept of divine providence. Such sudden reversals are throughout "Watership Down." If we use the concepts of eucatastrophe, fortune favors the bold and the successful make their own luck we have a framework in which to understand and appreciate this classic work of literature.

I was inspired to reread the Isaac Asimov Foundation trilogy, after I would guess 15 years. I often quipped I felt like Hari Seldon predicting collapse in a world that would not listen. I will give reviews on each of the books in the trilogy as I finish them. This will begin with Asimov's 1951 Foundation. I will discuss what I thought about the big ideas, how they fit in with my own thoughts on collapse and more!

Last week Kruptos and I engaged in a bit of back-and-forth on twitter. The topic was on the distinction between abstracting principles from historical observations to build a new nation vs. representing an organic lived community and whether the Founding Fathers were in which camp. Kruptos argued the former and I argued the latter. I thought this would make a good point counter-point discussion on culture, history, technique and how to build a society. So tune in and enjoy a thought-provoking conversation between friends.

A locals subscriber JMarshallJ made this recommendation for a topic: We have the problem of what is euphemised as collateral damage in places like Israel, Afghanistan, or the Ukraine, and the squabbles over whether or not it is legitimate. Chemical warfare is banned so why not try banning artillery and cruise missiles or even gunpowder all together. Perhaps this is for many reasons unfeasible, but does this mean the (typically cherry-picking) do gooders have to admit that they really do not care so much about civilians?
