Episode Description:
Mike and Dave take a detour from aesthetics for an episode and talk about how warfare has shaped our cultural consciousness. We focus on the epoch-making turning point that was WWI, and discuss how warfare has changed both before and after. We share war stories and talk about the generations of warfare from ancient times up to the 21st century, and how dissidents are on the front lines of the new, fifth-generation warfare.
