Empire: Some things never change (chapter 46) - a podcast by Corey Farr

Episode 32 looks at chapter 46, which continues the theme of discontent from the last two weeks, this time placing it in the context of militarism and the nations of the world.

I start the episode by telling the story of how I first came to be disillusioned with politics and the hope for any real "change" in terms of the military policies of my country. The rest of the content is divided into two main parts:

1. War horses or plow horses? Lao Tzu's metaphor for militarism and greed in a broken world.

2. Discontentment and greed as foundations of brokenness

3. What does it mean to "change the world"? Is that even a possibility? It's important to think carefully when we use language like this, because in one sense, the answer is a yes - and in the other, it is an emphatic no.
