Audiences who are still connected with their critical faculties wonder about the truthfulness that accompanies much of what is presented as fact by main stream media. Too often however, social forces conspire to make us reluctant to investigate truth, lest we discover it and don't like what we find. For many, the fear of being labelled a 'conspiracy theorist' or an 'anti-vaxxer' imposes its own censorship.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Sara Haboubi and Matthew Ehret explore core concepts relating to Human Creativity, Perception management and the role of History as an analytical lens that can help make sense of current events.

It's May 2022 now and there is no doubt that in we are currently living through historic times. In fact, this very phrase is one we’ve heard a lot lately.
Perhaps we simply use it as a convenient label to explain seemingly absurd events in a way which satisfies our desire to categorize but does not commit us to comprehend?

Ironically, 'history' as a bona fide intellectual discipline is a missing component in our media consumption habits. Instead, we pivot from one deep emotional crisis to another with relative often unconscious ease...from Covid to Conflict..... to Climate.

An understanding of history can open our cognitive door to 'context’ - an analytical framework we can use to make sense of our world. This framework can help us think critically about current unfolding events, however absurd they might seem in isolation, and to interpret otherwise complicated, confusing and sometimes contradictory aspects of life today with a higher degree of success.
Historical insights, in turn, can lead us to a deeper understanding of our world so that we might better realize our own potential to help shape it.

BOOK
---

Matthew's third volume of the Clash of the Two Americas trilogy entitled "The Birth of a Eurasian Manifest Destiny" (400 pages) ends in some ways the same way as the story began in Volume 1 in 1776- an "Unfinished Symphony".

This symphony is ripe with potential for a new age of reason just as it was in 1776 yet whose tune has taken on new life with exciting new variations embodied an ecumenical spirit now coming alive by the great civilizations of Eurasia.

Like all great classical masterpieces, this variation is both principled, yet also filled with dissonances.

Some of those dissonances are necessary parts of the composition, and others are entirely un-necessary consequences of the very active and very ugly persistence of the oligarchical system which has sought to reduce humanity to a state of thoughtless cattle for a very long time, which this book will discuss at length.

This is the same oligarchical system that has maintained a continuous existence from the dark days of ancient Babylon to the present Today’s representatives of this ancient system know that this new paradigm being driven by the multipolar alliance, premised as it is on open system planning, creative flexibility, win-win cooperation, and constant growth of the productive powers of labor is incompatible with the empire's static demands for humanity and even the universe as a whole. From this standpoint the term "manifest destiny" will take on new vitality and meaning as a theme stretching back to the earliest records of civilisation to our present crisis-ridden age.
