WEBVTT 00:00.777 --> 00:06.402 [SPEAKER_00]: The liberal globalist order is on its brink and awakening a new conservative age. 00:06.642 --> 00:17.491 [SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Steve Turley, join me every day as we discover answers to today's toughest challenges and explore the re-bondalization of conservative civilization. 00:18.111 --> 00:19.793 [SPEAKER_00]: This is Turley Talks. 00:21.441 --> 00:23.123 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been sitting on something big. 00:23.483 --> 00:28.848 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't reveal it all yet, but today's new video from Budapest is the first piece of the puzzle. 00:29.308 --> 00:35.213 [SPEAKER_00]: Watch it and then get on the early access list below before the announcement goes public. 00:35.233 --> 00:39.457 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a run into Patriots who are going to be at the front of this and I want you in it. 00:39.717 --> 00:43.921 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey everyone, it's me Dr. Steve coming to you from the beautiful city. 00:44.361 --> 01:01.075 [SPEAKER_00]: of Budapest Hungry, which has long been at the forefront as you know of this astonishing civilization-less renewal that's happening all over our world, and that raises a very important question that I think we all need to wrestle with. 01:01.755 --> 01:11.423 [SPEAKER_00]: What if the reason why the world is so confusing right now, so crazy, so chaotic, so unpredictable and possible to explain 01:12.483 --> 01:16.386 [SPEAKER_00]: What if it's actually not the world that's gone crazy? 01:17.727 --> 01:26.914 [SPEAKER_00]: One if the problem is your map for understanding the world, or better, what if the world is truly turbulent, but you don't know how to navigate it? 01:27.555 --> 01:29.336 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, think about it for a moment, right? 01:29.376 --> 01:37.903 [SPEAKER_00]: When explorers sailed off the edges of the rent and they're known charts, they didn't conclude that the ocean had malfunctioned, right? 01:38.783 --> 01:40.585 [SPEAKER_00]: They concluded that their maps were wrong. 01:41.355 --> 01:44.918 [SPEAKER_00]: The world really was bigger than what they drew. 01:45.178 --> 01:49.921 [SPEAKER_00]: It was always more complex than what they could render on parchment. 01:50.061 --> 02:02.971 [SPEAKER_00]: And the moment they clung to those old charts rather than updating them, the moment that they insisted that the map was real and the ocean was lying, that's when ship started sinking. 02:03.891 --> 02:07.013 [SPEAKER_00]: I would argue that for many of us we're in that moment right now. 02:10.937 --> 02:22.287 [SPEAKER_00]: takes to the air waves or the opinion pages and tries to explain what's happening on the world stage using categories that just simply don't apply anymore. 02:23.007 --> 02:30.734 [SPEAKER_00]: Left versus right, democracy versus authoritarianism, developing world versus developed world, the West versus everyone else. 02:31.715 --> 02:36.179 [SPEAKER_00]: And every week, those explanations fall more and more flat. 02:36.752 --> 02:37.833 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't sign as fine. 02:38.053 --> 02:39.094 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't predict. 02:39.774 --> 02:46.359 [SPEAKER_00]: They don't actually illuminate anything about the world in terms of the way it's really working. 02:47.680 --> 02:58.889 [SPEAKER_00]: The Iran war, the shifting allegiances in the Middle East, the rise of populist leaders across Europe, Southeast, South Asian, Latin America, who defy every conventional practical label. 02:59.587 --> 03:15.178 [SPEAKER_00]: The mass of religious renewal that's happening all over the world, the rise of Islam, socialism, for example in our nation's largest cities, the strange coalitions forming across what used to be called the global south, right? 03:15.198 --> 03:24.684 [SPEAKER_00]: The breakdown of institutions that were supposed to be permanent institutions at every political science textbook told us would endure. 03:25.905 --> 03:28.247 [SPEAKER_00]: None of it makes sense on the old map. 03:29.419 --> 03:30.240 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the point. 03:31.421 --> 03:39.908 [SPEAKER_00]: The failure of description is the real story of our moment, not the events themselves, though the events are certainly extraordinary. 03:40.708 --> 03:50.736 [SPEAKER_00]: The deeper story is that our intellectual frameworks are collapsing faster than the institutions that were built to explain. 03:52.118 --> 03:56.121 [SPEAKER_00]: We're living through what I call a crisis of cartography. 03:57.266 --> 04:05.754 [SPEAKER_00]: The map makers are still drawing the same continents, the same map, but the tectonic plates have shifted and they've shifted dramatically. 04:06.695 --> 04:08.657 [SPEAKER_00]: So what are those old maps exactly? 04:09.178 --> 04:15.604 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's basically three, we've got three major maps that have dominated Western thinking for the past 70 years. 04:16.773 --> 04:25.336 [SPEAKER_00]: The first is what's known as the liberal international order, and this is the one that tells you that the story always ends with the triumph of liberal democracy. 04:25.896 --> 04:36.619 [SPEAKER_00]: Free markets, multilateral institutions spreading everywhere and anywhere until the whole world becomes essentially just a huge large version of the EU. 04:37.519 --> 04:39.820 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a clean map, it's a hopeful map. 04:40.460 --> 04:44.626 [SPEAKER_00]: but it's a map that's been crumbling since at least 2008. 04:45.287 --> 04:50.494 [SPEAKER_00]: And most of the people who drew it still refuse to acknowledge what's happening. 04:51.596 --> 04:53.499 [SPEAKER_00]: The second is the nation state map. 04:54.287 --> 05:00.651 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's one that assumes that the fundamental unit of world politics is the sub-renation. 05:00.891 --> 05:05.073 [SPEAKER_00]: With its borders, its flag, it's seated to UN, it's army. 05:05.873 --> 05:12.557 [SPEAKER_00]: But while nations obviously still exist, they no longer hold primary loyalty the way they once did. 05:12.677 --> 05:16.019 [SPEAKER_00]: Something older and deeper has re-emerged. 05:16.099 --> 05:19.401 [SPEAKER_00]: Something that predates the nation-state entirely. 05:20.780 --> 05:31.782 [SPEAKER_00]: civilizations, religion, sacred communities, peoples define not by passports, but by shared belief, shared ancestry, and shared destiny. 05:33.243 --> 05:39.184 [SPEAKER_00]: The third map is the secular materialist map, and this one assumes that religion is fading. 05:40.164 --> 05:48.346 [SPEAKER_00]: That as people get richer and more educated, they naturally abandon faith, and they embrace a kind of rational individualism. 05:49.221 --> 06:01.829 [SPEAKER_00]: It assumes that theology is an artifact of the past that the future belongs to technocrats and algorithm writers and bureaucrats who have moved beyond such primitive categories. 06:03.130 --> 06:11.456 [SPEAKER_00]: What we have to understand is that every single one of those maps is failing simultaneously. 06:11.996 --> 06:14.598 [SPEAKER_00]: And the failure isn't happening quietly. 06:15.307 --> 06:29.477 [SPEAKER_00]: It's happening in front of our eyes, in real time, in the form of wars, in the form of revolutions, in the form of electoral upheavals, that the people holding those maps simply can't explain. 06:30.817 --> 06:32.499 [SPEAKER_00]: So what do you do when your map fails? 06:33.880 --> 06:42.145 [SPEAKER_00]: You don't panic, you don't pretend the map is still working and you don't throw up your hands and conclude that the world is just simply chaos and there's nothing you can do. 06:45.678 --> 06:49.780 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's exactly what my book, Civ Cosm, is. 06:50.140 --> 06:52.321 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a new map for a new world. 06:52.981 --> 07:03.366 [SPEAKER_00]: Not a map drawn with the assumption that liberalism always wins in the end, or that religion always fades, or that nation states always hold the structure of the world. 07:03.486 --> 07:06.627 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a map drawn from what's actually happening. 07:07.267 --> 07:13.130 [SPEAKER_00]: From the actual contours of the forces reshaping, human civilization right now. 07:14.338 --> 07:16.719 [SPEAKER_00]: Sith Cosm is built around three coordinates. 07:17.579 --> 07:18.980 [SPEAKER_00]: The first is Theopolytics. 07:19.800 --> 07:25.523 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the recognition that theology and politics have never actually been separate. 07:26.363 --> 07:30.605 [SPEAKER_00]: And that civilization's emerging all over the world right now, know that. 07:31.926 --> 07:33.947 [SPEAKER_00]: The second is techno-politics. 07:34.567 --> 07:37.028 [SPEAKER_00]: The understanding that technology is not neutral. 07:37.853 --> 07:48.999 [SPEAKER_00]: that it's always shaped by the values and belief systems of the civilizations that build it and thus work in tandem with that civilizations religious foundations. 07:49.919 --> 07:52.540 [SPEAKER_00]: And the third is Astropolitics. 07:53.241 --> 08:03.766 [SPEAKER_00]: The reality that the ultimate frontier of civilization or competition has already moved beyond Earth itself with technology and tradition combining 08:08.085 --> 08:08.785 [SPEAKER_00]: in outer space. 08:10.106 --> 08:12.507 [SPEAKER_00]: Three coordinates, one map. 08:13.527 --> 08:17.928 [SPEAKER_00]: You understand those three coordinates of the opolitics, techno-politics, and astropolitics. 08:18.068 --> 08:25.831 [SPEAKER_00]: I assure you, you can basically understand anything in everything that's happening in our world and beyond today. 08:26.752 --> 08:30.513 [SPEAKER_00]: So here's what I want you to understand before you walk away from this video. 08:31.440 --> 08:57.283 [SPEAKER_00]: The confusion that you feel when you watch the news is not stupidity, certainly not, it's not ignorance, you're not ignorant, it's not a failure of attention, it's the sensation of a person with an outdated map, standing in a landscape that no longer matches it, and that sensation, that disorientation, that nagging feeling, that the explanations you're being given don't quite add up, 08:58.002 --> 09:03.644 [SPEAKER_00]: is actually one of the most important signals that you can receive right now. 09:03.704 --> 09:06.645 [SPEAKER_00]: It means your intellectual instincts are still working. 09:07.305 --> 09:14.127 [SPEAKER_00]: It means you know somewhere in your gut that something bigger is happening than what the commentators are telling you. 09:15.748 --> 09:16.768 [SPEAKER_00]: Trust that instinct. 09:17.248 --> 09:18.829 [SPEAKER_00]: And then get a better map. 09:19.429 --> 09:20.949 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what the Civ Cawsom is. 09:21.089 --> 09:23.030 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we're building together. 09:23.787 --> 09:36.238 [SPEAKER_00]: a framework precise enough to explain what's already happening, honest enough to acknowledge what the old maps missed and bold enough to project what comes next. 09:36.999 --> 09:41.583 [SPEAKER_00]: When your map fails, the problem isn't the world, it's your map. 09:42.244 --> 09:44.526 [SPEAKER_00]: And the solution is right before you. 09:45.446 --> 09:46.067 [SPEAKER_00]: Siv cults. 09:47.358 --> 09:50.901 [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much for listening this episode of the Trolley Talks podcast. 09:51.221 --> 09:55.845 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't forget to subscribe, leave us a five-star review, and share this episode with your friends. 09:56.265 --> 10:03.270 [SPEAKER_00]: Help us defeat the fake news media and rank us the number one news and commentary podcast all over the world. 10:03.691 --> 10:09.075 [SPEAKER_00]: Come back again tomorrow for another episode celebrating the rise of a new conservative age.
