Much of the analysis surrounding the 2022 midterms has been divorced of any larger or historical perspective. Instead, it has focused mostly on how great a result it was for Democrats, with the only perspective being how badly it was supposed to go. In this episode, we look to take a step back and look at the results objectively to find out what they really mean for and about America.

People often say "they don't care about politics" or they "don't like to get political" as a sort of warning sign that they come in peace as virtuous people. However, being apolitical is both impossible and far from a virtue. Because your political beliefs are little more than how you believe other people ought to be treated.

Today we talk about what causes inequality amongst people? Is inequality natural or is it unnatural? Is it pre-societal or created by society? We'll talk about America's wealth gap and look at what Jean-Jacque Rousseau has to say about property and inequality and compare it to philosophy of John Locke that America is founded on.

We dive into the basics and founding of the Roman Republic and what it teaches us about Republics as a whole, including America. We start at the beginning of Rome and examine why and how the Republic was founded, the basics of their government, and the troubles of the early years. We talk about the significance of the establishment of the mos maiorum and the way class struggles defined the early Republic. We also examine how similar the early American Republic was to Rome and extrapolate the larger lessons of Republican governments and apply them to today.

What constitutes an emergency? When can the government act outside of the law? Who decides when this is the case? In this episode, we cover emergency powers and how they stem from social contract theory. We compare the social contracts of Hobbes and Locke. And we apply their theories to emergencies today like COVID-19.
