Podcasts about Collapse

When everyone else seems to be abandoning their standards, what keeps you from abandoning yours? Ryan talks with USA TODAY national correspondent Rick Jervis, author of The Devil Behind The Badge, about objectivity, integrity, and how professional ethics provide stability in the middle of chaos.

CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-24-2026.OTTAWAConrad Black and co-host Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss the collapse of trade negotiations and subsequent US tariff threats that have sparked a major political crisis in Canada, leading to opposition calls to immediately reconvene Parliament. Black describes a stark contrast in national attitudes, noting that President Trump's rhetoric effectively denies Canada's sovereignty. This perceived affront has deeply united Canadians across party lines, who view the tariffs as an assault on national identity rather than a mere commercial dispute. Black highlights potential Republican electoral fallout in key US Senate races like Maine and Michigan, and suggests a bilateral phone call could resolve the dispute. (1)Janatyn Sayeh and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine Iranian official Ghalibaf's public appearance in Iraq, signaling defiance to the US and Israel before secondary sanctions are revealed. Sayeh explains that Iran views Iraq as its backyard, using it to evade sanctions by blending Iranian oil with Iraqi exports. Under President Trump, US economic scrutiny on Iraq has increased to block this smuggling. While maximum pressure has devalued Iran's currency and caused hyperinflation, Iran aims to overwhelm Washington by utilizing its regional proxy networks across Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq. The US must view these proxies as Iranian arms rather than local actors. (2)Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa, with Edmund Fitton-Brown: In Brazil, falling poll numbers have panicked President Lula, prompting him to call Donald Trump despite years of anti-American rhetoric. Araújo explains this reflects the US's central role in combating South American "narcosocialist" regimes. Meanwhile, in Venezuela, Delcyand Jorge Rodríguez are simulating cooperation with the US while delaying presidential elections to buy time. Peña Esclusa notes that Venezuelan opposition members are negotiating Supreme Court appointments rather than election dates or political prisoners. Both guests will attend Slovenia's Bled Strategic Forum to discuss Latin America's right-wing political shift and potential energy partnerships with Europe. (3)Malcolm Hoenlein and Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss rising security concerns in Israel after incendiary balloons from Gaza were discovered, potentially testing Israel's border preparedness. Concurrently, Turkey is expanding its regional footprint, occupying 5% of Syria and attempting to establish military bases, which Israel countered with airstrikes. In Gaza, Jared Kushner met with Hamas in Cairo, a move that critics argue bolsters the group's status despite declining local support. Meanwhile, the US Treasury has previewed secondary sanctions on Iranian trading partners, including China. Iran's economy is in collapse, with inflation skyrocketing and the currency reaching an all-time low. (4)David Daoud and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine UNIFIL's mandate, which restricts it to acting as an auxiliary to the Lebanese Armed Forces, preventing independent disarmament of Hezbollah. Consequently, Hezbollah operates freely near UN watchtowers and tunnel networks. Daoud argues that while new US Treasury sanctions expanding target parameters to include Iranian violations are positive, they fail to address Hezbollah's deep integration into Lebanon's socio-political fabric. To be effective, the West must treat Hezbollah as a Lebanese entity with sovereign responsibilities, rather than purely an Iranian proxy. True security requires targeting all of Hezbollah's activities, including its social and political wings. (5)Ivana Stradner and Edmund Fitton-Brown analyze Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's visit to Belgrade, which does not signal a split between Serbia and Russia. President Vučić's weapons sales to Ukraine are merely lucrative business deals. Serbia remains highly dependent on Russia, sharing deep intelligence ties and cooperating with the FSB to test crowd-control equipment. Vučić balances these relationships to survive domestic protests sparked by environmental concerns and a severe heatwave. Stradner, recently returning from Israel, reports that Israeli morale remains exceptionally high despite facing a multi-front threat from Iran's proxy network, which Russia continues to exploit through regional propaganda and strategic manipulation. (6)Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the term "economic D-Day," explaining that Pakistan's mediation in Iran is self-interested, driven by fears of secondary US sanctions. These sanctions have suffocated Iran's economy, reducing oil exports and sparking hyperinflation. Iraq also struggles with contradictory policies, balancing its US alliance with pro-Iranian gestures, such as securing tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. In the Red Sea, the Houthis demand tribute from Saudi Arabia to halt attacks on tankers and pipelines. Fitton-Brown warns that paying the Houthis only delays their long-term expansionist goals against Saudi territory and Israel. (7)Samuel Ben-Ur and Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss how, following a temporary lull, Hamas has intensified attacks in Gaza, emboldened by disarmament frameworks proposed by Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators. Ben-Ur notes Hamas only accepted the deal under the pretense of disarming while intending to survive intact. However, following Jared Kushner's visit, the US aligned with Israel's stance, demanding total disarmament before military withdrawal. Fitton-Brown and Ben-Ur discuss the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (ENCAG), a secular government planned to replace Hamas. Lacking military power, ENCAG's deployment depends on an international stabilization force, though troop commitments remain severely short. (8)Michael Sobolik and Edmund Fitton-Brown examine how Chinese AI company Moonshot bypassed US export controls by "distilling" technology from Anthropic's Claude Opus model to train its own system, Kimi K3. This intellectual property theft threatens American market dominance and national security. Sobolik recommends three policy actions: imposing crushing financial sanctions on violating Chinese firms, closing export control loopholes related to remote cloud access, and banning open CCP models in the United States. He warns that American tech companies prioritizing short-term profits over security risk losing the AI race, mirroring historical patterns of Chinese piracy. (9)John Hardie and Edmund Fitton-Brown outline Russia's military assistance to Iran via the Caspian Sea, a highly secure transit route. This collaboration benefits Moscow by raising energy prices and draining US munition stockpiles like Patriot interceptors, giving Russia a freer hand in Ukraine. Russia provides Iran with tactical intelligence, drone components to resist satellite jamming, and has agreed to deliver shoulder-launched air defense missiles. While Ukraine and Israel have attempted long-range strikes against trade vessels and ports to disrupt this flow, interdiction is difficult because the Caspian Sea operates as a protected, non-transparent Russian-Iranian military lake. (10)Standing corrections applied: Janatyn Sayeh, Ernesto Araújo, Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Delcy Rodríguez (and Jorge Rodríguez), Zelenskyy, Vučić with diacritics, and Kimi K3 (source again had "Kimmy"). One anomaly in the source: segment 7 listed Fitton-Brown as both guest and co-host, so I've formatted it as his solo segment — flag it if there was a second voice in that file.

Silicon Bites Ep387 | 2026-08-20 | Ukraine is stripping the sky away, layer by layer, above Putin's palace. We mean strikes against the layered air defences protecting Putin Palace. The symbolism and psychological impact of destroying the residence, as if it were a Wildberries warehouse would be immense.Last night Russia fired ballistic missiles at Kyiv for eleven hours. At least sixteen people are dead across the capital and the region. Eight of them died in Solomianskyi. The windows of a children's hospital were blown in and cars burned in the grounds. Ukraine intercepted almost none of the ballistics, because Ukraine does not have the interceptors.And roughly nine hundred kilometres south-east, on a cliff above the Black Sea, there is a 17,700-square-metre Italianate palace with a private church, a cinema, an underground bunker complex and an aqua disco — and, as of this month, a hole in the sky above it.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

So much for détente. California Attorney General Rob Bonta canceled Monday's planned meeting with Paramount after accusing the company of leaking — and misrepresenting — confidential settlement discussions to the press. “They need to sleep in the bed that they made,” Bonta tells Elaine Low in this bonus episode of Ankler Agenda, blasting Paramount for “playing games” and waging a PR campaign while, he says, losing where it matters: in court. The rupture comes even as Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and several Hollywood guilds have all voiced varying degrees of support for getting the two sides to the table. Does that growing pressure change Bonta's thinking? “Not at all,” he says. But Bonta also makes clear that the door isn't permanently shut. He says he's ready to resume negotiations if Paramount stops the leaks and comes back in good faith — and, for the first time, gets unusually specific about what a deal might require. Forget the chatter about CNN: Bonta says the news network “is not our focus” and that resolving the states' antitrust concerns would require some portion of Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery's combined cable portfolio to be placed under separate ownership. Bonta also explains why behavioral remedies are a nonstarter, says he hopes Republican attorneys general may still join the case, and dismisses as “meritless” and “silly” a request seeking his correspondence with Mark Ruffalo following backlash over the actor's criticism of the Paramount deal.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze President Trump's escalating tariff threats against Canada following the collapse of trade negotiations. They examine why a deal that seemed nearly complete fell apart at the eleventh hour, potentially due to last-minute interference from Treasury Secretary Lutnick and advisor Navarro. Speer argues the proposed agreement was actually favourable for Canada, preserving tariff-free access for most exports, while both discuss whether rising tensions on both sides make salvaging a deal increasingly difficult.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Daphne Liang - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - HostsChristopher Katsarov/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.

The Canada-U.S. trade dispute takes centre stage on the show today. Jerry opens the show by examining the breakdown of trade talks between Ottawa and Washington. He speaks with Drew Fagan, professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, about what led to the collapse in negotiations and what it means for the economic relationship between the two countries. How will new tariffs affect Canadian businesses and consumers? Jerry speaks with Jasmin Guenette, Vice-President of National Affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, about whether small and independent businesses will be forced to pass rising costs on to customers and how they're preparing for the uncertainty ahead. Jerry continues the conversation with John Boscariol, leader of the International Trade and Investment Law Group at McCarthy Tétrault, for a deeper look at the legal and economic realities of Canada-U.S. trade relations and what options remain on the table. New research from the Angus Reid Institute finds that while a majority of Canadians support Canada's decision to walk away from trade talks, many are worried about the personal economic consequences. Jerry speaks with Shachi Kurl, President of the Angus Reid Institute, about the findings and the growing concerns Canadians have about their jobs and financial security.

Jeremy Ryan Slate on Rome, oligarchy, currency, and the breakdown of the West Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes sit down with Jeremy Ryan Slate for a wide-ranging conversation about civilizational collapse, using Rome as the main historical lens. Jeremy argues that the West is following a familiar pattern of monetary debasement, immigration strain, and declining political ethics, while Darren and Graham push the discussion toward technology, energy, election integrity, and whether there is any humane way to stabilize the system. We discuss why the Roman pattern may be repeating across the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe, what actually causes collapse, and whether reform is still possible through currency, production, and energy. Key topics Jeremy lays out his "Roman pattern" framework with three main drivers of collapse: monetary debasement, immigration pressure, and the loss of ethics among political leaders. The conversation turns to whether the West should be viewed as one collapsing bloc or as a set of countries moving at different speeds through the same decline. Jeremy argues that modern democracy has already drifted into oligarchy, pointing to executive power, elite control of money, and the replacement of candidates as evidence. The hosts compare modern politics to Rome's client patron system, where voting and public policy often rewarded whoever could hand out the most benefits. A major thread is the 1913 turning point in the US: the 17th Amendment, federal income tax, and the Federal Reserve Act. The group also discusses the War Powers Act, executive war-making, and how crises are used to expand state power. Jeremy says collapse is usually slow, not cinematic, and compares it to Rome's long degradation rather than a sudden movie-style fall. Darren and Graham explore whether universal high income, automation, or energy abundance could replace broken welfare and monetary systems. Jeremy pushes back on the idea of unconditional handouts, arguing that any workable system still needs incentives, value creation, and consequences for bad behavior. The most optimistic path, in Jeremy's view, is a two-pronged fix: cut waste and rebuild industrial production. They also dig into energy as the next big frontier, especially nuclear power, grid modernization, and the idea of backing currency through actual productive capacity. The episode closes with Jeremy explaining his work on The Roman Pattern, Hidden Forces in History, and the Athenian Book Club.

Hour 4 (8.20) The ice shelf braking Antarctica's Doomsday Glacier is about to go, a rare violin gets stolen, and Mark relives the voiceover auditions that didn't go his way. The hour opens on the theft of a very expensive, very old violin, which turns into a detour through the instrument's history and everyone who's held it. Then Tim and Mark on the Doomsday Glacier — Thwaites is nicknamed that because a total collapse would push global sea levels up 26 inches and flood coastal communities. The eastern ice shelf that acts as a natural brake on the glacier is expected to start breaking apart, though scientists put the full collapse on a timescale of centuries, not years. Mark takes it from there with stories from the voiceover audition circuit and what actually happens in those rooms. And the crew closes out going around on their favorite cereals, which gets more heated than it has any right toSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She spoke about how crime and lawlessness have contributed to losing nearly 75% of her business since the George Floyd riots. She also said she believes that elected officials "are more interested in adhering to some ridiculous pie-in-the-sky ideology than actually focusing on making coalitions between different groups and functioning on real-world problems."Support the show

What happens when a political administration faces relentless investigations, and why does the Washington narrative miss how power actually works? In this clip from The Rational Boomer Podcast, we break down the reality of federal limitations, why elections are run by the states, and why political anxiety over federal overreach is often overstated.

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of September 11, retired NYPD Detective Sergeant Mike Codella joins Tudor Dixon to share his extraordinary firsthand account of surviving the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Codella was off duty when the first plane struck, but after realizing America was under attack, he raced to Lower Manhattan and ran into the South Tower to help evacuate people. Moments later, the building began to collapse around him. Codella recalls being thrown by the force of the collapse, waking up surrounded by complete darkness and silence, and eventually finding his way to safety. He also remembers returning home that night to discover his family believed he had died at Ground Zero—and reflects on the remarkable unity, courage, and patriotism Americans showed in the days after 9/11. Tudor and Codella discuss why younger generations must be taught what happened on September 11, the importance of remembering the first responders and ordinary Americans who became heroes, and whether America has forgotten some of the lessons learned after the attacks. They also examine Codella's decades fighting crime in New York City, Rudy Giuliani's approach to policing, the consequences of soft-on-crime policies, and Codella's upcoming book, The Evil That Walked New York, which explores some of the darkest criminal cases and mysteries he encountered during his career.Never forget September 11, 2001—and never stop telling the stories of the people who lived it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andre, known online as The Alchemist, is a former engineer who says he learned to consciously leave his body — and what he claims to have found on the other side upends almost everything we're told about death, God, and the reality we're living in. In this conversation, Trey pushes him on the questions most people are too afraid to ask.We get into the difference between perceptional truth and the ultimate truth; why Andre believes death is an illusion and “you are your own ultimate authority”; the claim that this realm was “reset” and that religion and weapons were introduced as tools of control; why he thinks today's AI is “very stupid” while humans are the real intelligence; the life review that awaits all of us; and the shared out-of-body experiences, demons, and reincarnation “traps” that people report on the other side.Whether you take it as literal cartography of the afterlife or as a radical philosophy of fearlessness, this is a conversation designed to change how you hold your own mind.▶ If this resonated: subscribe, drop your biggest takeaway in the comments, and share it with the one person who needs to hear it.

Poet, essayist, and playwright Claudia Rankine joins co-hosts Christian Barter, Jennifer Maritza McCauley and Whitney Terrell to talk about her new book Triage. Rankine outlines the decades-long relationship between the book's narrator and a character she names “the theorist,” who, as college students, develop the habit of collapsing whenever they greet each other. She talks about how each character interprets collapse differently, the theorist prescribing action while the narrator fights for her “silences, routines, and quietude.” Rankine discusses how their “conversation” echoes Antigone and is rooted in our current reactions to the war in Gaza and the second Trump Administration. She reflects on the role that visual imagery has in her work and reads from Triage.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

America is drowning in debt. Its borders are strained, institutions distrusted, bureaucracy entrenched and currency relentlessly diluted. Historian Jeremy Ryan Slate argues we've seen this movie before. Using his provocative Roman Pattern, Slate joins Richard Syrett to ask: Is the American Empire merely declining, or quietly being dismantled from within? GUEST: Jeremy Ryan Slate is a historian, entrepreneur, author and media host whose work examines the recurring forces that shape the rise, transformation and decline of civilizations. He holds a Master's degree in European History, specializing in the Early Roman Empire, from Seton Hall University and studied Catholic literature at Oxford University. Slate is the creator and host of The Roman Pattern, a framework exploring how civilizations repeatedly confront similar institutional incentives involving money, borders and power. He also hosts Hidden Forces in History and The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, and is CEO of Command Your Brand. Through the lens of Rome, Slate examines an unsettling question for our own age: Does history repeat, or do the incentives that destroy empires repeat?

What happens when a society rejects its Christian foundations? Nate Wright is joined by Dr. David Haskell to discuss his new book, Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government. Drawing on extensive sociological research, Dr. Haskell makes the empirical case that Christian beliefs produce stronger families, greater generosity, higher social trust, and flourishing nations. They also explore the myth of government neutrality, the consequences of abandoning Christian principles, and why Christians must confidently bring biblical truth into public life.

Jason discusses the long-term impact of demographic shifts and declining birth rates on the global economy and real estate investments. While acknowledging these challenges, he reassures investors that significant market consequences likely will not manifest until the late 2040s. He also criticizes current immigration policies, suggesting that the nation should focus on attracting highly educated professionals rather than depleting resources from developing countries. To assist his audience in navigating these financial complexities, he heavily promotes his AI-driven tools and investment platforms which are trained on his extensive historical content. These resources, including a specialized AI avatar and property tracking software, are presented as superior ways for users to access real estate strategies and market analysis. Ultimately, the segment transitions into a deeper conversation regarding the potential for civilizational collapse and its specific implications for future property owners. Today Jason explore the catastrophic economic and social consequences of global demographic decline, specifically focusing on plunging fertility rates in South Korea, China, and the United States. Guest Malcolm Collins argues that modern capitalism and urban monoculture discourage child-rearing, threatening an economic system that relies entirely on constant population growth to sustain asset values and debt. The discussion highlights how broken dating markets and a lack of foresight among elites are leading toward a "mega collapse" of traditional investments like real estate and stocks by the mid-21st century. To navigate this future, Malcolm suggest that human capital and resilient cultural communities will become more valuable than physical or financial assets. They concludes by examining how artificial intelligence and intentional social technologies might either mitigate these trends or redefine the concept of civilizational success. https://JasonHartman.com/Ai https://propertytracker.com/ https://empoweredinvestor.com/wednesday   Key Takeaways: 0:00 We've got till the 2040s 3:48 Immigration debate 4:47 JasonHartman.com/Ai 8:39 Malcolm Collins interview      _______________________________________________________________   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Why would someone who watched one deep-sea mining company collapse go back and try it again? That's the question at the center of this episode, and it's not hypothetical. It happened, with the same industry, some of the same licenses, and the same person at the center of it: Gerard Barron, now CEO of The Metals Company (TMC), one of the most prominent and best-funded companies pushing to start commercial deep-sea mining today. This isn't framed as an accusation against Barron specifically. It's a documented sequence of decisions, and by the end, you can decide for yourself what the motive looks like. Before TMC, Barron was an early investor and promoter behind Nautilus Minerals, a company that pursued seafloor mineral deposits off Papua New Guinea. Nautilus raised hundreds of millions of dollars, including investment from the PNG government itself, before its costs spiraled, it was delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange, and it filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Barron reportedly sold his shares years before the collapse, walking away with a return as high as $30 million, while PNG's government and environment were left holding the damage. Years later, people connected to Nautilus, including Barron, regrouped as Deep Green, which became The Metals Company, and picked up exploration rights in the Clarion Clipperton Zone that had once belonged to Nautilus. This episode traces that arc from Adstream to Nautilus to TMC, including TMC's push to trigger the ISA's two-year rule, its more recent pursuit of a US mining permit outside the International Seabed Authority process entirely, and Barron's consistent argument that mining the seabed is less environmentally damaging than mining on land. Whether that comparison holds up, and what it means that the environmental cost of Nautilus's failure barely factors into how Barron talks about it now, is the thread running through the whole story. Takeaways Gerard Barron, now CEO of The Metals Company (TMC), was an early investor and promoter (not CEO) behind an earlier deep-sea mining venture, Nautilus Minerals, which went bankrupt in 2019. Nautilus's projected operating costs of about $70 per ton reportedly grew to about $192 per ton, contributing to its delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange and eventual bankruptcy. Papua New Guinea's government invested in Nautilus and, according to the country's prime minister, the country spent roughly 300 million Kina (about $72 million USD) on a project later called a "total failure." Barron sold his Nautilus shares years before the company's collapse, reportedly for as much as $30 million, while PNG's government was still invested. TMC, which Barron now leads, is pursuing a US permitting path through NOAA and the Trump administration, outside the ISA process. Long-term recovery data on deep-sea mining damage remains limited; some studies cited in the episode indicate no biodiversity recovery three to four years after mining activity occurred. Barron has publicly compared seabed mining favorably to land-based mining, but a specific biomass figure he's cited in at least one interview is disputed in this episode as inaccurate.

Have you ever suspected that capsule wardrobes are pointless, because they collapse into the same three favorite outfits? There's a reason for that, and your eye already knows it. Every time you swap a piece, you change the relationship between everything else in the outfit: the proportion, the line, the color balance. Certain combinations hit real harmony on your specific body. You feel it before you can explain it, and you default to those combinations over and over. Building outfit formulas around your real body proportions is the most effective way to stop capsule wardrobe collapse from feeling like failure. An outfit formula isn't a fixed head-to-toe look, and it isn't a closet where everything is supposed to mix and match. It's a recipe: the shape and proportion relationships that make a combination work on you, that different pieces can satisfy. I shared this in a new episode of Signature Style Systems, using a story from an advanced stylist training where every outfit I packed got critiqued in front of the group, one suitcase, every single day. Curious what your own outfit formula could look like? Let's connect! Download The Wardrobe Pyramid. Want to learn more about how to discover your Style DNA? Visit my website.

James Romm — Multi-Part, Part Two: Professor James Romm details the violent collapse of the Dionysian dynasty and its influence on Plato's writing. Following a falling out and exile, Dion launched an invasion to liberate Syracuse. However, his rule descended into factionalism, culminating in the assassination of his rival Heraclides and Dion's own eventual murder by his soldiers. The chaos ended when Timoleon of Corinth forced Dionysius the Younger to abdicate; the former tyrant famously spent his final years in Corinth as a humble music teacher. Romm explains that these political failures directly informed the Republic, specifically the allegory of the cave and the concept of the philosopher king. While Plato's letters and Plutarch's accounts attempted to whitewash Dion as a virtuous leader, Romm suggests Plato was often politically naive regarding the brutal realities of Syracusan power. (2)

"My father, behold, the enemy's ships came here. My cities were burned, and they did evil things in my country. Does not my father know that all my troops and chariots are in the land of Hatti, and all my ships are in the land of Lukka? The country is abandoned to itself. May my father know it: the seven ships of the enemy that came here inflicted much damage upon us."Around the year 1185 BCE, Ammurapi, the last king of the ancient city Ugarit, urged the king of nearby Alashiya to send help. His city, which had stood for thousands of years, was one of the great commercial capitals of the eastern Mediterranean. But help would never arrive. Ugarit fell and was never rebuilt. And it was not alone.Up and down the coastline, from Greece to Anatolia to the Levant, an entire interconnected world of Bronze Age superpowers essentially stopped existing within the span of a few decades. Cities that had thrived for centuries were reduced to ash. Writing systems disappeared so completely that entire regions went functionally illiterate for centuries. And at the center of almost every ancient account of what happened, you find the same phrase showing up in Egyptian temple walls and Syrian palace archives alike, describing a coalition of raiders. People who made a “conspiracy in their islands” and came from the sea…Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
