About this listen
Summary:
Dr. Jim dives into the recurring patterns of historical ignorance and its impact on modern society, drawing parallels between the Third Punic War, post-Civil War America, and the rise of oppressive regimes.

Dr. Jim emphasizes the need to learn from history to prevent repeating mistakes and questions whether society is ready to finally address these enduring issues, preventing the rise of tyranny and oppression led by powerful elites.
