The Anthropology of the Right

Description: Unlike the left's coherent ideology (blank slate humans + social engineering = utopia), the right isn't unified except in OPPOSING leftism. Taliban, neocons, libertarians, and religious fundamentalists share little beyond rejecting progress-worship. This episode explores four distinct conservative factions navigating modernity's central question: as humans gain godlike industrial powers, how much traditional wisdom do we preserve? The 200-year battle between machine-followers and those brave (or mad) enough to resist progress.
