"Insanity in individuals is rare, but in groups, parties, nations, it is the rule." - Nietzsche

Here's my conversation with John Mearsheimer, one of the most influential and controversial thinkers in the world on the topics of power, war, peace, and international relations. We discuss Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and the future of US as a superpower. This episode will be challenging to some, as previous episodes have been to others. To emphasize what I say in the introduction: I will talk to everyone, on all sides, with compassion, with empathy, and with backbone. My goal is to do whatever small part I can to decrease the amount of suffering in the world by trying to reveal our common humanity. I will get attacked. I accept this. I love you all ❤ First 3 hours posted here on X.
