Ed Curtin discusses the precarious global geopolitical situation teetering on World War 3 and how in the current Cuban Missile Crisis Redux we do not have a global leadership that can use reason to solve the problem. The most dangerous thing is the insouciance of most people to what is going on, the populace is focused on trivial pursuits, and has been tranquilized. He wouldn't be surprised if we wake up one day soon and we see news that nukes have gone off. Putin is doing what any sane leader would do, defending his country from surrounding NATO forces. It's quite obvious that the U.S. is the leading rogue nation in the world. A multipolar world is slowly coming into view.

About Edward Curtin
Educated in the classics, philosophy, literature, theology, and sociology, I teach sociology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. My writing on varied topics has appeared widely over many years. I write as a public intellectual for the general public, not as a specialist for a narrow readership. I believe a non-committal sociology is an impossibility and therefore see all my work as an effort to enhance human freedom through understanding.

Ed Curtin: The Most Dangerous Thing is the Insouciance of People as to What is Going On #326

The Geopolitics & Empire Podcast conducts interviews with prominent international experts on a wide-range of topics.

Past guests have included diplomats, government officials, whistleblowers, soldiers, spies, economists, academics, scientists, wealthy investors, dissidents, journalists, and musicians.

The broadcast seeks to gain insight from guests who come from the left, right, and beyond. It should go without saying that the host does not always agree with beliefs espoused by podcast invitees, but maintains an open mind, and believes it important to respectfully listen to a multitude of voices and let listeners come to their own conclusions.

“Hot” mastered music is uncool!

Listeners with a good audio system (e.g. hi-fi stereo monitors, high performance headphones or even reasonably good in-ear-headphones) will love music with <a href="http://dr.loudness-war.info">high dynamic range (HDR)</a>.

Please, artists, do not cripple your music! Master your audio with HDR (DR12+) and use loudness normalization (<a href="https://tech.ebu.ch/loudness">EBU R-128</a>)! Your fans will thank you.

My gear:
Speakers: <a href="https://www.abacus-electronics.de/a-box-10.html">Abacus A-Box 10</a> (full hi-fi [20Hz–20kHz] active stereo monitors).
