Episode #224 - Tyranny

Tyranny is not a new thing. It's been around for as long as people have formed cities. One could even argue that governments and society tilts towards tyranny over time, as we slowly drift away from understanding the importance of our fundamental rights and freedoms. But is there anything we can do to ensure liberty? How does a tyrannical government even come into being?

Episode Notes

·        Introduction

o   As      I was doing the editing for a recent episode I did – burn the capitol – I realized that I was talking a lot about one side of the coin: having gratitude for the system you were born in

o   And though I did put a caveat or two in there that systems can, in fact, become too totalitarian, I felt like I should do an episode on that very thing: tyranny

o   It’s interesting because a lot of the biblical stories were about tyranny

o   It’s something that is very fundamental to human psychology

o   So what’s going on with tyranny?
