This episode: no matter how far we've gone, can we always turn around? Should we fight for our living standards? Why don't we try to make more specific plans to achieve local goals to help more people make better choices to resist the new world order? Can we push our politicians? Who's spying on us and why? What ideas do we get in fiction to accept later as fact? How seriously do we take stuff on Twitter? Why does our media focus our attention on nonsense? Should we just laugh all this off?
