Ep 74 - The Culture Wars: Escalation

Normally my process for podcasting is write first, talk second. Not tonight. I have a lot of swirling thoughts about the recent escalation in the Culture Wars. Before we get to that however, I’ll answer what creates a culture war, and more importantly why it’s foolish to ignore them. To pretend that the recent skirmishes between Disney and the Florida Government are “beside the point” for human freedom is to indulge in the kind of rhetoric that keeps you from better sensemaking.

What’s even more important than understanding that there is a “culture war” is knowing who the real enemy is. As I recently wrote, war is hell for all but the few. Generals across time have made their names on the backs of nameless dead.

Can better sensemaking limit the Carnage? Only if you share the show.
