I laid down some segments today for my next episode of Dangerous History, “The Mad Dream of Conquest,” which will be the first part of a miniseries centering around one of the major military campaigns of the Peloponnesian War between Athens & Sparta in the 5th century BC.

Despite the fact that these events took place almost 2 & 1/2 millennia ago, this war in general (& this campaign in particular) has a shocking amount of parallels & relevance to recent world events.

I’ve still got a fair amount to record for it - this is gonna be a pretty big episode- but I made a good dent today, so tonight I will sleep the sleep of the righteous, & tomorrow I’ll get back to it.

Stay tuned! 🫡

Check out my latest Dangerous History episode, featuring the audio of my triumphant return to cohosting Brave the New World, the weekly current events & media analysis podcast I cohost with Matt Carano.

“There is nothing so small that it cannot save its life, if it has the courage to defend itself against those who would lay hand on it.”

-Brasidas (5th century BC Spartan General)

I just put out a reissue of Dangerous History Podcast Ep. 74 : “The Western Way of War vs the Eastern Way of War” (from Aug. 2015!), that is VERY relevant to current events. Check it out:

3 years sober today.

The decline of the American Empire is really pulling down the standard of living for all of us — even the elites.

I mean, just a few generations ago our rulers were dining on fine wine & caviar, but now they mostly just eat pizza & grape soda.

Those who 🍇 minors should be 🍇ed to death by miners.

ICYMI, I put out a new Dangerous History episode yesterday- check it out!

Rosy boas are generally considered terrestrial, but my guy Fernando here identifies as arboreal.

I just released a new episode of Dangerous History, "We Are Ruled by Psychopaths, Pt 2," in which I delve into some topics related to psychopathy & power that I didn't cover in the 1st part.

ICYMI: A few days ago, I published a new Dangerous History episode, “We are Ruled by Psychopaths,” in which I do a deep dive on the true nature of psychopathy & why I think there’s very good reason to believe that most of the “people” who rule us are in fact genuine psychopaths. Check it out!
