🎙️The Evolution of Power – The Deeper Thinking Podcast

History does not repeat itself—it transforms. In this episode, we explore the dangers of historical inflation, the ways in which authoritarianism evolves beyond the forms we recognize, and why our reliance on outdated comparisons blinds us to modern threats to democracy. Power has learned from the past, and if we fail to see how it adapts and transforms, we risk being unprepared for its next manifestation.
