EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Carl Benjamin and Chris Williamson, Carl Benjamin - Surviving The Madness Of 2022 explores carl Benjamin dissects wokeness, dating collapse, and media’s decline Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) discusses building his Lotus Eaters media company, contrasting its mission and structure with legacy outlets like the Daily Wire and mainstream news. He argues that social media—especially Twitter—has ideologically radicalized figures like Ethan Klein, framing this as the downstream effect of decades of critical theory and Gramscian ‘war of position’.
