Podcasts about deca dence

This week marks the birthday of the author and activist James Baldwin, and to mark the occasion we're heading into the Sewers archives for a conversation that touches on the expansiveness of Baldwin's writing. In 2022, I spoke with a guest named Jonathan about how literature helped him discover a larger world — which led to a lifetime of eye-opening experiences, from a brief marriage to a woman to enduring the impact of Hurricane Katrina.

Today's bad idea is also one that is very hard to pin down: David talks to writer and literary scholar Ian Ellison about the concept of decadence, which went from explaining the fall of ancient Rome to becoming a label modern artists wanted to claim for themselves. What makes a society decadent? Is it always a bad thing? When does decadence explain what's happening and when does it distract from what's happening? Was Weimar Germany the best of decadence or the worst of it? And how decadent are we today? Out now on PPF+: a bonus episode to accompany this series in which David talks to political historian David Klemperer about the idea of social credit, which promised to save the world in the 1920s and 1930s and ended up doing nothing of the sort. A fascinating story of cranks, conspiracy theorists and crypto-fascists with curious echoes in Silicon Valley today.

An enormous welcome to both Cecelia Rose and Casey Maeve. Cecelia is a familiar voice to our long-term listeners and has now joined us on the wonderful podcast team. Her first guest is Casey Maeve, a PhD student at the University of Birmingham whose work focuses on nineteenth-century poetic depictions of Sappho. Casey explores the history of Sappho, her unique appeal to the Pre-Raphaelites and how this translated into the later Decadence and Aesthete movements by empowering and inspiring a new generation of both women and queer writers.

Tenicka Boyd was 21 years old and a new mother when she took a job working for President Obama. Nineteen years later, her daughter is a college junior living in Japan, Tenicka is a fashion voice, former ACLU staffer, and one of the most self-possessed women I've had on the couch. She is also refreshingly honest about the parts of her story most women tuck away.In this episode, we get into the conversation Tenicka is best known for online—the honest one about money and motherhood. What it means to enter motherhood with resources, and what it costs when you don't. Why "living for your kids" is not the compliment we've been told it is. Why she believes we're not owed motherhood, and what it looks like to choose it with your eyes wide open.From there we get into her reflection on early motherhood and the loneliness of being out of sync with the girlfriends who are now having their first child, the leap from a full-time career in politics to content creation—when she eclipsed her ACLU salary in one quarter—and why she refuses to work a sixty-hour week for herself. We talk about the uniformity that's crept into creator culture, the political history of fashion, and why she wants us to expand the definition of luxury beyond European heritage houses. She names the African, Caribbean, and diaspora designers currently defining her closet—from Hertunba to FeNoel to Tongoro to Desiree Iyama.And then we get into decadence as refusal. Refusal of shrinking, of quiet luxury culture, of the mad dash to 40. Refusal of the small life the world has convinced women to accept.This is a conversation about what it looks like to give yourself permission to live a life your ancestors couldn't have imagined for you.Her affirmation this week: "I am my great, great-grandmother's wildest dream." Cheers to that.

Are you running the race to finish it, or are you going to get disqualified right at the end?In today's episode of Word Time, Coach Shaw dives deep into 2 Kings chapter 9 and 10 to break down the tragic story of King Jehu. On paper, Jehu looks like a true patriot and a total hero of the faith. He was anointed by Elisha to carry out God's direct judgment on the wicked dynasty of Ahab and Jezebel, and he absolutely handled business. He wiped out Baal worship, eliminated the false prophets, and even turned the temple of Baal into a public toilet.But verse 31 drops a terrifying warning: “But Jehu did not obey the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart.”We look at how Jehu's partial obedience directly connects to the modern-day American church, the deception of the "once saved, always saved" doctrine, and the reality of what it means to guard your inheritance so you don't hear those dread words from Jesus: "Depart from me, I never knew you."Video Chapters:0:00 — Introduction: 2 Kings 9 & The Story of Jehu1:03 — Elisha's Anointing & The Judgment on Ahab's House1:42 — Naboth's Vineyard & The Spirit of Jezebel Today2:16 — The Hour of Justice: Spiritual Warfare in Modern America2:55 — Revelation, the Fall of America, and End-Times Delusions4:12 — Exposing the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Myth5:16 — Country vs. Faith: The Narrow Path for Patriots6:26 — Jehu Wipes Out the Kings (Joram & Ahaziah)7:28 — Jezebel's Final Moments & The Modern "Spider-Man Meme" Inversion8:28 — Eliminating Ahab's 70 Sons: Going Beyond a 95% Mandate9:19 — The Bait: Jehu's Plan to Trap the Priests of Baal10:13 — Turning the Temple of Baal into a Public Toilet10:58 — The Golden Calves: The Kicker in Verse 3112:09 — "Depart From Me": Why Your Works Won't Save You14:23 — The Scholarship & The Inheritance: Losing What Is Reserved16:21 — Decadence, July 4th, and the Reality of American Privilege17:40 — The Best Person in Hell: Striving Daily for Total Surrender18:38 — Closing Prayer: Thanking God for Grace, Mercy, and JesusKey Takeaways From This Message:The 95% Trap: Jehu did exactly what God asked him to do when it came to destroying Ahab's house and tearing down Baal. He went all in on 95% of the mandate. But he left the 5%—the golden calves of Jeroboam—untouched. We cannot claim to walk with God while keeping our favorite little cultural idols intact.The Illusion of Patriotism: Right now, there is a massive alignment between American patriots and the Christian faith. But when the end-times pressure cooker forces a choice between country and Christ, many who love America more than they love the Word will fold. The path is narrow for a reason.Salvation is an Inheritance, Not a Possession Yet: The Bible consistently notes that our salvation is an inheritance reserved in heaven, untouched by rust or moths. Just like a college scholarship or a family will, you can break the rules, walk away, and forfeit what was waiting for you.Don't Be the Best Person in Hell: Jehu accomplished monumental things for the Kingdom, yet failed to give God his whole heart. You can be opposite to the world, hated by society, and incredibly productive in ministry, but if you don't finish the race in full obedience, it means nothing.Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:2 Kings 9 & 10 — The rise, conquests, and internal failure of King Jehu.Matthew 7:21-23 — "Depart from me, I never knew you."Colossians 1 & 1 Peter 1:4 — An inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, reserved in heaven.Revelation (General) — The final trials of the elect and the global shakeup before Christ's return.Let's stop playing games with our faith, check our hearts daily, and thank God for the grace found only in Jesus Christ. Have a blessed weekend!#WordTime #CoachForChrist #KingJehu #BiblicalTruth #EndTimes #WholeHeartedObedience #NoCompromise

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're taking a deeper look at the Israel-Iran conflict, the continuing questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We'll discuss why these stories continue to dominate public conversation, explore the political and geopolitical questions people are asking, and examine why these events should be viewed together rather than in isolation.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Leon Craig's debut novel The Decadence was published in September of 2025, with the paperback due to be published in August 2026.She speaks to Jack Aldane about Amis's 2010 novel The Pregnant Widow, a complex synthesis of comedy of manners, roman à clef, and historical revision that examines the language and practices of the sexual revolution through a set of characters ostensibly holidaying for a summer in Campania in Italy circa 1970. Together, they discuss the characters' parts in advancing the discourse Amis wants us to entertain about what the sexual revolution stood for, as well as those it served, those it cheated, and what we still find decades later in its aftermath. Also featured in this episodes are nods to Experience and Dead Babies, the latter a particular influence on The Decadence.Leon also describes what it feels like to be a hereditary novelist in 2026, and what writers like herself owe Amis for having pressed on with his career despite living in Kingsley's shadow, and why no writer, however well-connected, gets to avoid the unglamourous side of the job.FOLLOW US ON X: @mymartinamisYOUTUBE: @mymartinamispod Hosted on Acast.

Discothèque Decadence Soundsystem presents: To The Manor Born: Swing House Nu Disco Party DD024 A tribute to the golden age of swing and jazz, from the roaring energy of the 1920s through to the big band brilliance of the 1930s and 1940s, reimagined with a modern nu disco, electro swing and house twist. This mix is also a tip of the top hat to one of the most unique and legendary nights in Durham, UK, reborn through the Discothèque Decadence lens with a Swing House twist. The journey celebrates the spirit of the original jazz age while bringing it firmly onto today's dancefloor, featuring heavyweight names and modern swing revival favourites including Parov Stelar, Caravan Palace, Club des Belugas, Swing Republic, Tape Five, Swingrowers, Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Benny Berigan, Louis Prima, Fab Samperi, Klischée and more. Woven throughout the mix are original productions from The Funk Assassin, including Velvet Swing Affair, Minuit à Montmartre, Bourbon Bead Arcade, Manor Born, Velvet After Midnight and Midnight Foxtrot Symphony, created to sit naturally alongside the classic swing, jazz and electro swing sound that inspired the whole journey. Unlike a fast-cut club mix, this has been mixed to let each track play out in its entirety, allowing the arrangements, horns, vocals, rhythms and character of every record to breathe. The result is a continuous swing jazz band feel, like one long late-night performance inside a glowing manor house, where the dancefloor never quite stops moving. Dedicated with love and respect to Miles Davis for his heavenly 100th birthday, one of the true giants of jazz, innovation and musical freedom - and to Sonny Rollins, a true muse for this mix and one of the great spirits of swing, soul and improvisation. Save this one for the afters. The manor doesn't close early. TRACK LIST: 1. The Funk Assassin – Velvet Swing Affair 2. Fred Astaire, Club des Belugas – Puttin' On the Ritz (Club Des Belugas Remix) 3.

Discothèque Decadence DD023 Haçienda Manchester Opening – 44th Anniversary 80s & 90s Dance Classics Step back onto one of the most influential dancefloors in music history as Discothèque Decadence celebrates the 44th anniversary of Manchester's legendary Haçienda. This special edition pays tribute to the records, DJs and unforgettable nights that helped define club culture throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. From the euphoric rise of House and Garage to the underground sounds that fuelled a generation, DD023 captures the spirit of a movement that changed dance music forever. Featuring timeless classics and dancefloor anthems from Todd Terry, David Morales, Roger Sanchez, K-Klass, Inner City, A Guy Called Gerald, Derrick May, Larry Heard, Alison Limerick, Joe Smooth and many more, this mix is packed with the records that lit up Manchester's most famous club. For me, this is where the story really begins. The Haçienda sound, the records, the culture and the energy of that era sparked my own love affair with dance music during the mid-to-late 1990s. Long before DJing, collecting records and creating mixes became a huge part of my life, these were the records and stories that inspired everything that followed. Pulled from the archives, this mix has become something of a time capsule. Over the years it has grown into the most listened-to Dance Classics mix I've ever recorded, continuing to attract listeners who share a love for the golden era of House music and the enduring legacy of the Haçienda. Every track has been carefully selected and mixed with love as a celebration of the records, the DJs and the dancefloor that changed everything. TRACKLIST 1. The Source feat.

Discothèque Decadence Soundsystem presents DD021: Latin Yacht House Party A sun-drenched voyage through Latin house, yacht grooves, Balearic warmth, and feel-good dancefloor gold. Opening with the smooth luxury of Benny Santiago's “Give Me the Night - Cielo Extended”, the mix glides into The Doobie Brothers' “Long Train Runnin'”, Yacht Rock Revue's “San Junipero”, Daryl Hall & John Oates' “I Can't Go for That” in the Pomo remix, Party Pupils' “Never Too Much”, and Christopher Cross' “Ride Like The Wind - Yacht House Mix” — all bringing that glossy, sunset-on-the-water energy. Then the Latin fire rises. David Penn, DJ Chus & Dr. Kucho!'s “Esperanza” leads into Africanism & Salomão De Bahia's “Cada Vez”, before two personal weapons take centre stage: The Funk Assassin – “Sabor En Tu Piel” and The Funk Assassin – “Di Mi Nombre (Spanglish Pop Soul Edit)”. Both capture the heart of the mix: sensual, rhythmic, warm, and built for that golden-hour moment when the drinks are flowing, the sea is glowing, and the groove takes over. The second half goes full Latin house celebration with Los Amigos Invisibles & Masters At Work, Junior Jack, Basement Jaxx, Negrocan, Ultra Naté, Afro Medusa, Cesária Évora, and Bellini bringing carnival energy, percussion, big hooks, and Balearic heat. Latin house with yacht-house polish. Sunset cocktails. Big grooves. A Discothèque Decadence trip from the crates to the coastline. TRACKLIST 1. Benny Santiago - Give Me the Night Cielo Extended 2.

Andrew For America talks about American decadence and how our society seems to be declining because of moral decay caused by excessive pleasure-seeking. All the protesting and outrage we see in society today seems very hypocritical given the opportunities and luxuries we enjoy here in America. In this episode, Andrew plays a clip from Mark Matson who claims that research proves that we are not a nation in decline and are actually progressing. Andrew also plays a clip from Alex Tarvana discussing elite control and reads a recent study that claims that 33% of Gen Z ages 18-24 are currently underemployed or unemployed, and as a consequence, there has been an influx of H1B visa applications from companies seeking skilled workers from overseas. Whether you want to be an entrepreneur, or you want to play video games in your mom's basement, America still seems like a pretty good place to live.The song selections are the songs, "Hold Tight" by the band Butterbrain, and "Apple Pie" by the band White Trash.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org

In Part 6 of our series "From Dawn to Decadence," we examine the intellectual trajectory and eventual "decay" of the Aufheben collective. This episode explores the group's early contributions to Marxist theory, their critique of the state, and the internal contradictions that led to their decline.We dive deep into the specific criticisms leveled by the Aufhebung Collective against previous thinkers, including their critiques of Rosa Luxemburg's "objectivism" and the perceived "automaticity" of capitalist collapse. We also discuss how their work interacts with broader Marxist debates on over-accumulation, under-consumption, and the role of the state in managing the "common ruin" of society.Key Topics Discussed:The Roots of Aufheben: How the collective emerged within the landscape of radical Marxist theory.Critique of Luxemburgism: Why Aufheben rejected theories of automatic economic collapse in favor of a more nuanced understanding of class struggle.The Decay of Theory: Analyzing the shifts in the collective's perspective that signaled a move away from their original radical foundations.Theoretical Implications: How these debates on the "highest stage" of capitalism and the "rentier state" remain relevant in today's shifting global landscape.Link:  https://files.libcom.org/files/Aufheben-%20Decadence.pdfSend us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Record Store Day 2026: French Touch & Nu Disco Session

Description Recorded at the 2026 Great Hearts National Symposium on February 25, 2026, this edited episode features Christopher Perrin's keynote speech exploring the history, meaning, and renewal of classical education, asking a foundational question: what exactly are we trying to recover? Drawing from sources as diverse as Augustine, Herodotus, Tocqueville, and C.S. Lewis, he traces the transmission of the liberal arts from ancient Greece and Rome through Christendom and into early America. Along the way, Perrin reflects on the gradual fragmentation of this tradition in the modern era, illustrated through the story of the Adams family and the rise of progressive education. Perrin challenges educators to embrace the humility at the heart of true learning—that the more we know, the more we recognize our ignorance—and to see themselves as perpetual students. The episode also highlights the remarkable resurgence of classical education today, describing it as a reawakening of seeds long buried but now beginning to flourish. Perrin emphasizes that education is not merely a science or technique, but the transmission of a living tradition aimed at forming wisdom, virtue, and love. Listeners will come away with a renewed sense of purpose, encouraged to tend the “fire” of learning and to participate faithfully in handing down a rich inheritance to the next generation.Special thanks to the Great Hearts Institute. Episode OutlineWhy the question “What is classical education?” is harder than it sounds (and why it matters for renewal)The paradox of learning: the more you know, the more you know you don't know “Begin with the end”: death, wisdom, and the purpose of education Tradition as “handing down”: language, culture, and education as inheritance Athens and Rome: Greek paideia, Roman educatio, and the liberal arts as a transmitted curriculumThe Church and Christendom: incorporating Greco-Roman learning, theology as “queen,” and widening accessEngland to early America: grammar schools, Boston Latin, Harvard, and the rise of popular literacy The Adams family as an educational case study: formation, thinning, and the modern fracture Progressive education: what changed, what was gained, and why education can't be reduced to a quantitative scienceThe modern renewal: early schools (1979–1981), today's ecosystem, and the need for teacher formation at scaleFinal exhortation: preserve humility, avoid pride, resist false dichotomies, and tend the “fire” of wonder in schoolsKey Topics & TakeawaysClassical education is a tradition before it is a “renewal.” A renewal only makes sense if we can name what is being renewed.Teachers must be perpetual students. The classical teacher models humility—seeking wisdom while resisting the pretense of having arrived.Education is measured by ultimate aims. Human life is fleeting; education gains its meaning from what it prepares us for—virtue, wisdom, piety, and a life rightly ordered.Tradition is unavoidable. Even rejecting tradition requires using language and capacities that were first handed down as a tradition.The liberal arts are an inheritance with a genealogy. From Greek and Roman culture through Christian adaptation, the arts endure because they correspond to human nature.Modern fragmentation reshaped education's purpose. When technology and “force” become central categories, education shifts from transmitting culture to preparing for flux.Progressive vs. classical is not a simple binary. Many educational “heresies” are partial truths held out of balance (false dichotomies distort practice).The renewal must be sustained by love, not mere critique. A movement fueled only by opposition cannot endure—formation requires positive vision and shared goods.Classical education belongs to humanity. It is deeply shaped by Christianity, but not owned exclusively by Christians; it welcomes seekers and strangers.Questions & DiscussionWhy do you think “classical education” is so difficult to define clearly?Name what you most often hear from parents or colleagues when they ask what “classical” means. Try writing a two-sentence definition that includes both aim (why) and means (how), then compare with others.How does the “perpetual student” posture change the way you teach?Where are you tempted to project certainty or expertise instead of wonder and humility? Identify one practice that would help your faculty model learning (shared reading, teacher seminar, public “I don't know yet”).What is education for when you “begin with the end” (mortality in view)?How does remembering death sharpen what matters in curriculum and school culture? If you had to prioritize one outcome—wisdom, virtue, piety, civic responsibility—what would you choose and why?What can we learn from the Adams family arc—formation to fracture?In your own experience, where do you see education becoming “garments that no longer fit”? Does your school respond by adapting the form—or by recovering the measure of the human person?What kind of “renewal energy” actually sustains a school long-term?Where does your community rely on critique of modern schooling rather than a positive vision? Identify one “beauty practice” (music, poetry, liturgy, feast, shared reading) that could rekindle joy and friendship.Suggested Reading & ResourcesThe Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi Scott JainAn Introduction to Classical Education: A Guide for Parents by Christopher A.

In part VI the boys discuss theories of "decadence" as viewed by the Aufheben collective. We focus on their early contributions to Marxist theory, critique of the state, and their eventual decline.   Note: Within days of recording this, the Iran war broke out, but this was recorded a few days before that started.  Key Topics Discussed: The Roots of Aufheben: How the collective emerged within the landscape of radical Marxist theory. Critique of Luxemburgism: Why Aufheben rejected theories of automatic economic collapse in favor of a more nuanced understanding of class struggle. The Decay of Theory: Analyzing the shifts in the collective's perspective that signaled a move away from their original radical foundations. Theoretical Implications: How these debates on the "highest stage" of capitalism and the "rentier state" remain relevant in today's shifting global landscape. https://www.patreon.com/c/varnvlog/posts

With a shooting at Mar-a-Lago and some real counterterrorism issues associated with Trump's threat of war on Iran, Kash Patel probably had more important matters to attend to than shotgunning beer with the U.S. hockey team. And the team itself might have remembered that Patel himself is standing in the way of investigating the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. But too many people at the top don't give a crap, and others are taking their cue. And that includes the larger media, which has moved on from Minnesota, even though women are having to resort to giving birth at home out of fear that federal agents will snatch family members in the labor & delivery ward. Meanwhile Trump is aggressively promoting regime change in Iran, and Sam Altman sounds like he thinks Neo was the bad guy in "The Matrix." Plus, does Netanyahu's role in helping get Trump back into power—and perhaps pushing him to war— open up a political opportunity for Dems to put pressure on Israel?JVL joins Tim Miller.show notes Tim plays the guest on Bill's "Bulwark on Sunday" Sonny and Tim assess the aesthetics of Trump's performance at his press conference JVL's "Triad" about what he saw in Minnesota The Wright Thompson Bulwark pod interview that Tim referenced The Atlantic on the other aid programs being cut Tickets are now on sale for our LIVE shows in Dallas on March 18 and in Austin on March 19.

Valentine's Nu-Disco House Party

Start with the symptom: everything still moves, yet less gets done. We unpack decadence as a live condition—where empires posture with airstrikes instead of strategy, markets float on bubbly valuations, and everyday obligations dissolve into choice and churn. Rather than predicting apocalypse, we track how capabilities thin out while systems grow heavier, and we ask what it would take to reverse that pattern.Our conversation maps the terrain across geopolitics and political economy. We examine military hollowing, Trump-era incentives, and the shift from global projection to regional coercion that masquerades as multipolar “freedom.” We dig into Brexit's exposure of Britain's productive weakness, the EU's turn to securitization, and why faltering Belt and Road ambitions recalibrate power rather than replace it. On the economic front, we separate real profit rates from rent-inflated revenues, explain how administrative bloat and litigation fuel cost disease in sectors like education, and show why fictitious capital turns asset inflation into the only viable growth model. Elite overproduction and de-skilling aren't just memes; they're structural forces that capture institutions while eroding competence.Culture mirrors these dynamics. Tools like standpoint epistemology and intersectionality began sharp and specific, then inflated under attention incentives until they explained everything and clarified nothing. The attention economy rewards maximalism; conspiracy offers coherence on the cheap. Meanwhile, social reproduction falters: loneliness rises, trust collapses, and the language of total choice encroaches on domains that need durable obligation. You don't have to be religious to see the cost—families, chosen and given, remain our basic infrastructure of care, and population decline reflects deeper social illness, not just private preference.We don't offer a rewind button. Renewal means rebuilding capacity: sectoral strategies that let unions scale across fragmented workplaces; simplification that cuts compliance labyrinths; investment that privileges real production over valuations; and a civic culture that re-centers duty and measurable outcomes. Decadence is a diagnosis, not a fate.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

Nov 5, 2025   In this episode, public school history teacher Gianni Paul joins Breht to trace the historical roots of our current crisis — stagnant wages, mass homelessness, collapsing infrastructure, rising fascism, Gilded Age inequality, and a beaten down working class — back to Reagan's counter-revolution against the New Deal and the forty-year neoliberal project that followed. Together, they explore how neoliberalism emerged out of the crises of the 1970s, Carter's role in laying the groundwork before Reagan, the destruction of unions and working-class power, the ideological weaponization of anti-communism, the bipartisan consolidation of neoliberalism under Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden, the ways Reagan and Trump represent two phases of the same class project, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of capitalist triumphalism, the slow disintegration of America's middle class into debt and precarity, the explosion of homelessness and hopelessness, the erosion of U.S. imperial dominance alongside the emergence of a multipolar world, and why the U.S. repeatedly chooses reaction over social transformation — raising the question of whether genuine change can still emerge from within the imperial core or whether new possibilities are taking shape elsewhere. Understanding this history is key to understanding why everyday life in America feels increasingly unstable, and what futures remain possible beyond neoliberal decay.

It's no secret that men are fascinated with the Roman Empire. Tales of battle, glory, and reign ignite our passion and enthusiasm for exerting our will against our enemies and for the benefit of those we lead. But these tales aren't just an entertaining insight into the way men's minds work – they're also cautionary regarding how every once-great civilization has fallen. Today, I'm joined by Jeremy Ryan Slate to discuss what makes men so attracted to the Roman Empire, in what ways the United States in following in its ill-fated footsteps (and, in which ways it isn't), lessons we can learn from monetary policy, political aspirations, wars and conquests, and how we can avoid the fate (or, at least prolong) every great civilization has eventually faced.

Robert P. George is not a passive observer of the proverbial culture wars; he's been a very active participant. As a Catholic legal scholar and philosopher at Princeton University, he was an influential opponent of Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage, receiving a Presidential medal from President George W. Bush. George decries the “decadence” of secular culture, and, in 2016, he co-wrote an op-ed declaring Donald Trump “manifestly unfit” to serve as President. Although George disagrees with the Administration's tactics to change universities' policies by punishment, he agrees with its contention that campuses have become hotbeds of leftism that stifle debate. He regards this not as a particular evil of the left but as “human nature”: “If conservatives had the kind of monopoly that liberals had,” George tells David Remnick, “I suspect we'd have the same situation, but just in reverse.” His recent book, “Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment,” tries to chart a course back toward civil, functioning debate in a polarized society. “I encourage my students to take courses from people who disagree with me, like Cornel West and Peter Singer,” the latter of whom is a controversial philosopher of ethics. “Cornel and I teach together for this same reason. Peter invites his students to take my courses. That's the way it should be.”

In the late seventies, Studio 54 was the place to be for musicians and celebrities alike. John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and others all famously hung out at the notorious club where hedonism was part of the venue's allure. The success of Studio 54 was sudden and massive, resulting in mountains of cash, cocaine, jealousy, revenge, an FBI raid, and an ironic ending for one of its owners.
