S1: Episode 2 - Beyond Trump: Rebooting the System from inside the Death Machine

S1: Episode 4 - Brexit, Fascism & The Information War.

What are the systemic causes and trends that led to Brexit? Should we worry about the rise of fascism and neo-nazism or are such claims alarmist? How do we make sense of the Trump phenomena? Is there an information war? How can we train ourselves to see the world systemically? Do we have power? These are some of the questions Dean put to Nafeez during a discussion session titled ‘Making Sense of the Crisis of Civilization’ held in front of an audience at the ELEVATE FESTIVAL in Graz, Austria, on March 5th, 2017.
