We\u2019re living through a moment of profound transformation. To better understand it\u2014and to chart a path forward\u2014we need to reckon with the political forces that shaped the world we\u2019ve inherited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us for a live online conversation<\/strong> inspired by The King Is Dead, Now What? The 250-Year Struggle for Democracy<\/strong><\/em>, a three-part audio series by the Human Nature Odyssey<\/a> podcast tracing the long arc of the global battle between monarchy and revolution, authoritarianism and democracy, hierarchy and equality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this special event, Post Carbon Institute Executive Director Asher Miller<\/strong> will host a conversation with storyteller and series creator Alex Leff<\/strong> and historian Dan Hoyer<\/strong>, an expert on social complexity and societal collapse. Together, they\u2019ll examine how past societies have responded to upheaval, the recurring tension between progressive and reactionary forces, and how we might better understand\u2014and ultimately transcend\u2014the left\/right political spectrum in this era of great unraveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not just a conversation about the past\u2014it\u2019s about how we move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage you to listen to the full three-part series<\/a> of The King Is Dead, Now What? <\/em>in advance for a deeper and more rewarding experience. From the storming of the Bastille to the rise of fascism, from communist revolutions to neoliberal collapse, the series explores the ideologies, events, and power struggles that have shaped today\u2019s political landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
