The American Political System Is Broken
There is a deep nihilism in America today. Nihilism is not a kind of mopey depression or cynicism or edgy lifestyle. Nihilism is an ultimate separation between what our values are and the means by which we can assert and affirm those values. When no value can be truly honored or protected in either the political or the private life, and when our political and private lives converge and subsume one another so that neither can remain sacred, then everything ceases to have meaning. A person can have a pretty damn good hedonistic time in a nihilistic world. But it means nothing. Right behind the hedonist's back is an insatiable darkness that is being nourished by precisely the same thing that is drip-feeding them pleasure. That darkness can be deadly. This deep nihilism has infected America’s political system, stem to stern. This episode is an examination of that broken political system and how we may alter its course.
