Summary

In Episode 284 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Marshall Kosloff, the co-host of the Realignment podcast about the recent mid-terms, Trump’s announcement that he’s running for President of the United States in 2024, the politics of the Ukraine war, and an Ubermensch culture in tech that has influenced conversations about US domestic and foreign policy.

The underwhelming performance of republicans in the 2022 mid-term elections has cast into doubt many pundits’ expectations about the strength of the Republican party and Trump’s own electability in 2024. What caused the underwhelming performance of Republicans in the mid-terms and whether or not that weakness will continue in the next election cycle is something that Demetri and Marshall discuss in the first hour of their conversation today.

The second hour is primarily a conversation about the politics of the Ukraine war and the rise of what Demetri describes as a new “Ubermensch” or “Superman” culture in tech. This culture, which intersects with elements of transhumanism, promotes its own version of global governance and a “transnational homelessness” that Demetri believes is antithetical to the wishes and desires of most people on earth.

0:00.0	What's up, everybody? My name is Demetra Gafinas, and you're listening to Hidden Forces,
0:05.6	a podcast that inspires investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens to challenge consensus narratives,
0:13.4	and to learn how to think critically about the systems of power shaping our world.
0:18.4	My guest in this episode is Marshall Coslov, the co-host of The Realignment, a podcast that I
0:24.3	absolutely love, and which consistently produces some of the best conversations
0:30.0	at the intersection of politics, society, and culture that you will find anywhere.
0:35.1	It's Marshall's second time on the podcast. He was last on with his co-host, Sagar and Jetty,
0:40.0	and I invited him on again because I wanted to talk to him about the recent midterms,
0:44.6	as well as Trump's announcement last week that he's officially running for president
0:48.4	in 2024. And what all of that means and says about the country, about what we can expect the
0:54.6	next few years to look like, etc. And of course, whenever you talk with somebody like Marshall,
1:00.4	who has such a deep intellectual curiosity and such a principled way of thinking through problems
1:06.4	in a very public way, you can very easily end up in places that you hadn't really prepared for,
1:12.9	or that you imagined you would end up in at the beginning of the conversation, which is why I
1:18.3	love talking with Marshall, and which is exactly what happened in this conversation. So,
1:23.2	while this episode begins with us talking about politics in a more or less conventional sense,
1:29.2	it deviates pretty substantially in the second hour to a conversation about the weird politics
1:35.9	of the Ukraine war, as well as what I think of as this kind of uber mentioned bracing
1:43.0	transhumanist culture and tech that isn't really well understood, but which I think actually
1:49.4	carries a lot of significance for both US domestic and foreign policy. If you want access to that
1:55.2	part of the conversation and you're not already subscribed to Hidden Forces, you can join our
2:00.2	premium feed by going to hiddenforces.io, slash subscribe, and sign up to one of our three content
