Episode Details

What if the patterns driving today’s global instability have been repeating for far longer than we realize?

I sit down with Alex Sachon, a philosopher trained in the social sciences who uses ancient philosophy to make sense of the rapidly shifting social, cultural, and geopolitical landscape we’re living through. His work brings together esoteric philosophy, historical analysis, and a systems-level view of civilization to explain how we arrived at this moment.

We trace how early exposure to Daoism and Zen Buddhism opened the door to deeper questions about consciousness, and how that eventually intersected with the study of empire, financial systems, and the evolution of power structures. His recent book, The Coming World Nation, outlines a model of social hierarchy and offers a revisionist look at the last 200 years of American history.

If you’ve ever felt like something about the current system doesn’t add up, but couldn’t quite articulate why, this conversation helps connect those dots. It’s especially relevant for people who question mainstream narratives, think in systems, and want a deeper framework for understanding where we might be headed next.
