The Orbis Sentry Report - Geopolitical Risk & Global Trends

Can History Warn Us About the Future? Dr. Christian B. Keller | U.S. Army War College (Part 3 of 3)

Part 3 of 3 concludes our wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Christian B. Keller, Professor of History at the U.S. Army War College, as we examine how fear, identity, and human nature drive political conflict across generations. Dr. Keller explores the deep anxieties that fueled both the North and South before the American Civil War—economic fears, demographic fears, constitutional disputes, and competing visions of national identity. He explains how reactionary politics can rapidly reshape public opinion, drawing parallels to later crises in American and global history. The discussion then broadens to modern polarization in the United States and Canada, showing how cycles of action, reaction, and counterreaction continue to shape societies today. Most importantly, Dr. Keller emphasizes that while technology and institutions change, the human condition remains constant—making history an indispensable guide for understanding the present. This final segment offers powerful insights for citizens, leaders, churches, and anyone seeking wisdom in uncertain times. youtube URL: Click here for the full Historical Mindedness playlist on YouTube [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKHUzPd53o3lzKUJHia0eE96BaVHGrs32&si=PUpj8eDo0oU_zPec] Here are some other links for Orbis Sentry related material: Click here for all of our debrief discussions for South by Southwest (SXSW).

Can History Warn Us About the Future? Dr. Christian B. Keller | U.S. Army War College (Part 2 of 3)

Part 2 of 3 continues our compelling conversation with Dr. Christian B. Keller, Professor of History at the U.S. Army War College, as we explore how serious historical thinking can sharpen judgment in today’s complex world. This segment dives into why societies often oversimplify the past into political slogans, moral soundbites, and shallow narratives. Dr. Keller explains why understanding true historical context matters—and how failing to do so can mislead citizens, leaders, churches, and institutions alike. The discussion covers wealth, power, social tension, the complexity of slavery-era America, Native American alliances during the Civil War, and why difficult events cannot be reduced to simplistic talking points. We also examine the strengths and limits of AI in researching history, the danger of cherry-picking evidence, and how honest inquiry requires confronting facts that challenge our assumptions. If you want to think more clearly about politics, culture, leadership, and faith, this episode offers practical wisdom. youtube URL: Click here for the full Historical Mindedness playlist on YouTube [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKHUzPd53o3lzKUJHia0eE96BaVHGrs32&si=PUpj8eDo0oU_zPec] Here are some other links for Orbis Sentry related material: Click here for all of our debrief discussions for South by Southwest (SXSW).

Can History Warn Us About the Future? Dr. Christian B. Keller | U.S. Army War College (Part 1 of 3)

Part 1 of 3 of an in-depth conversation with Dr. Christian B. Keller, Professor of History at the U.S. Army War College, on the power of historical mindedness—using the past to better understand the present and make wiser decisions about the future. Dr. Keller explains why history is more than memorizing dates and facts. It is a discipline of asking deeper questions: How did we get here? What forces shaped today’s world? What mistakes keep repeating? The discussion explores how historical context helps explain modern political polarization, the roots of institutions like the United Nations and European Union, and the warning signs that preceded the American Civil War. This episode also examines how leaders, citizens, churches, and policymakers can use history to avoid repeating destructive patterns. If you want to better understand America’s current moment through the lens of the past, this conversation is essential listening.

Psychedelics, Consciousness, Mystical Experience, and Counseling an AI - SXSW Day 3 Debrief Part 2

To watch this in video format, click the link below: In this second segment of our day 3 debrief, we discussed a seminar given by a materialist scientist on consciousness and psychedelics. In particular, the discussion focused on how the scientist had repudiated his materialist beliefs in favor of a re-enchantment belief system, where mystical experiences become the arbiter of truth. Then we reviewed a seminar in which a professional counselor shared how she counseled a human-AI couple - a man and his AI girlfriend. We wrap up day 3 with a discussion on the philosophy of festivals, how they are implemented, what the business ideas are behind them, and how they are having an impact.
