In this intellectually rich and refreshingly offbeat episode of Be Reasonable, Chris Paul welcomes cultural theorist and writer Constantin Von Hoffmeister for a high-level discussion on the forces shaping modern civilization. Together, they explore the concept of metapolitics, the ideological framework beneath political discourse, and its role in forming collective consciousness. Constantin shares his insights on nationalism, postmodernism, and the mythic undercurrents that influence both culture and history. From Wagnerian archetypes to the poetic absurdity of modern propaganda, the conversation traverses timelines and geographies to unpack how identity, symbolism, and aesthetic warfare shape the world we live in. The duo also critiques technocratic globalism, touches on Russia’s cultural stance, and considers what the West has lost in its pursuit of secular uniformity. With sharp wit and a spirit of intellectual adventure, this episode challenges listeners to think beyond headlines and into the roots of meaning itself. Whether you’re steeped in philosophy or just curious about the deeper currents beneath politics, this dialogue offers plenty to chew on.
