Leviacene, Really?
Dear David, While I’m sympathetic to your conclusion, the path you take to it is a crafty pastiche of Eurocentric chauvinism at best. It would be more accurate to label this global mess we find ourselves in the Anglocene. Britain created the Leviathan and exported it around our planet. Human slavery , colonialism, genocide, patriarchy, plantation economics, and plantation politics all to “scale” accompanied it to the Americas where it took root and flourishes to this day in the form of MAGA nuttery. Anthropocentric Leviathanism is absurd and a cruel contradiction. Our world has had enough iterations of this destructive story. We already have a way forward. It’s been here all along. Rather than reinventing Leviathanism, we need to rediscover the sanity, serenity, and wisdom of the cultures that were present in the “New World “ thousands of years prior to that fatal contact in your so-called 15th Century with your Leviathan culture. - Chris 11-3-2023

The episode on Orwell’s essay, “The Lion and the Unicorn,” is a tour de force. This one easygoing talk has the dimensions of a whole book about British history and culture.

I told my wife that my life has felt like there is been something missing from it since David Runciman has been off the air. Unsurprisingly, that was not well received.
