Dr David Thunder: The Old Systems Are Collapsing - Here's What's Next

Are we witnessing the end of the modern nation-state?

In this thought provoking exploration of what's going on in our world, political philosopher David Thunder issues a stark warning: the systems we’ve long relied upon, from government, media, to public institutions , are no longer working. Trust is breaking down. People are more divided than ever.

And deep down, many of us feel something is wrong… even if we can't quite put it into words.

🎙️ *In this episode: *
- Why everything feels broken — and why that feeling is real
- How today's top-down systems are failing people and communities
- The rise of overreach, censorship, and political tribalism
- A new vision of society based on local power, real participation, and human flourishing
- What we can do to lead, rebuild trust, and create change — starting from the ground up
