Thanks, Joanie. His conclusion - stabilize then globalize - as our only play is not at all surprising.

Names the problems, goes right up against the conspiracies - even depopulation and then tells us the solution. The exact solution THEY want. He's part of the 'swarm' as Shiva calls them.

Weinstein’s conclusion that Western civilization needs to continue to flourish and lead the process of globalization and be the stabilizing power of humanity’s cultural evolution is another example of “calming the Marks” (@Sage Hana). I agree with you, Joanie, about this.

Weinstein is obviously podcasting as an academic and as an intellectual and as an expert and as a scholarly philosopher.

At this point in our collective history, arguing the positive virtues of Western civilization versus Western civilization’s fatal flaws is a gigantic waste of time and energy. Western civilization has given the human population Rockefeller’s model of (deadly, but profitable) medicine and BigPharma and the World Health Organization and the Jesuits and organizations such as the Club of Rome & the Council on Foreign Relations & the Trilateral Commission & the Bilderburg Group & the World Economic Forum & the Bank of International Settlements. What great ethical-moral-economic-political goods has Western civilization produced? Did Western civilization ever give the masses political and economic freedom? I’m skeptical, but I suppose it’s debatable.

Anyway, the agenda to concentrate the power of technology and the world’s armed forces into the hands of proponents for Western civilization is simply another argument for globalization, with the end goal of globalization being one political-economic hegemon, a global State.

There’s a really good article about the State (aka the Leviathan, aka the mortal god) written by W.D. James on winter oak and Sam Bailey made a video of this article by James on her Substack.

Maybe Weinstein is a true believer that globalization is inevitable and, therefore, Weinstein wants his elitists in charge of the global State, as opposed to Oriental elitists.
