Spirit News: A Hegalian Perspective on Current Affairs| Ep. 3 | A philosopher's take on the news with Yale-trained philosopher, Dr. Samuel Loncar. In this episode, I explore the transformative impact of social media on traditional news, the foundational theories of social structure by classical theorists like Elias, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, and the implications of these theories on contemporary society. I discuss the evolution of societal norms, the dynamics of geopolitics and imperialism, and the role of America in European defense, culminating in an analysis of the emerging global order and the interconnectedness of civilizations.
