Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest.

Humanity today is like a waking dreamer, caught between the fantasies of sleep and the chaos of the real world. The mind seeks but cannot find the precise place and hour. We have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology. We thrash about. We are terribly confused by the mere fact of our existence, and a danger to ourselves and to the rest of life.

Edward O. Wilson, The Social Conquest of Earth

In this podcast, I intergrade philosophical questions and history. I believe to understand what we need to make us better people we need to know the past. So I went as far back in history to explore the whys and the hows. This is the beginning of a small series on Mesopotamia.

Listen to an idiot ramble.

Niggas who play Civilization can appreciate the gravity of Danaerys sailing to King’s Landing with 1,000 ships and 3 dragons.

Cersei’s Kingdom is in disarray. She just overthrew a government and now she gotta deal with riots for 10 or 20 turns. The army prolly not where it needs to be. Aren’t they in deep debt with the Iron Bank? No gold to rush new units.

You know in Civlization when you’re broke, don’t have that many military units, and then all of a sudden you scroll out into the ocean and see 7 enemy frigates and 4 privateers and all you have is a trireme or two. 

That’s what Cersei is about to see
