About this episode
Commentator Stormy Waters joins the podcast for a discussion on the nature of power, how it projects and protects itself in the context of the current political and cultural battle for mindshare.  A meditation on quantum mechanics, the culture war and how those things intersected to leave Donald Trump alive and now in power in the US.
