Nick's Non-fiction

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! As brothers slaughtered one another during the English Civil War, (1642-51) Thomas Hobbes retreated to the Isle of Jersey to compose his masterwork. Leviathan is a praxeological jewel drawing us the geometric foundation of what motivates man and his sovereignties. The famous similarities drawn between the church’s original sin and the monarchs social contract influenced the U.S. constitution a century later. Academics to this day use Hobbes philosophical structure to expose invalid arguments for inherent guilt, like how the impoverished kids born into a trailer park fifty miles from the nearest library have white privilege. Hobbes nature of motion shows the vacuum of power through class structures feeding into the inevitable rise and collapse of Leviathan. Like the English Civil War, and every bureaucracy in history, the true fight isn’t left versus right, it’s top versus bottom. Subscribe, Share, Mobile links & Time-stamps bel
