Pride Month & Platonism

The lads start off this episode by courting controversy with some wild speculation about the role of intelligence services in various post-war social movements. Next, the boys turn their attention to a brewing apocalypse in commercial real estate and the possible death of the petrodollar. That leads to a discussion of the relevance of Platonism to the collapses of Roman and Medieval societies, and how Platonism is now showing up in science as our own empire reaches the end of it's life-cycle.
