Episode Details

This episode of Missing is a gut-check. We talk about the kind of fortitude it takes to stand upright in a system that quietly rewards compliance and punishes backbone. “Fortitude and Gonads” isn’t just a phrase — it’s a survival requirement now.

Then we pivot into Monarchee: the rising aesthetic and structure of authority, hierarchy, and managed narratives. Is it a cultural swing, a political strategy, or something deeper in the operating system of the West?

We explore what’s disappearing — rights, clarity, accountability, history — and what has to be rebuilt internally if we’re going to make it through the next phase with our humanity intact.

In this conversation:
— What “fortitude” means when the pressure is real
— Courage vs performance in public life
— The Monarchee thread: authority, myth, and governance
— Why so much feels missing (and who benefits)
— Building internal sovereignty in unstable times
