EP104: The Assassination of Human Respect - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Manage episode 429545893 series 3498664
Uncover the unsettling reality of the Conflict Machine in this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka. Following the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, we delve into the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Carl Schmitt to expose how their ideas perpetuate cycles of fear leading to violence. This powerful discussion not only critiques these enduring influences but also advocates for the principle of Human Respect as the antidote to all political violence. Join us as we challenge the status quo and inspire a move towards a more peaceful society.
