Summary

In Episode 179 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas shares the overtime to his 4-hour-long conversation with Radigan Carter, an investor who has spent the last two decades of his life working across five continents as a member of the US military, as a private contractor, and as a special agent for the United States government.

In this second-half of their conversation, Radigan shares not only his remarkable insights on geopolitics and foreign affairs, including a long discussion about the security and politics of the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, but also his perspective on what's happening within the United States: the radicalization of the citizenry and the potential for an escalation in political violence over the next few years. The two also discuss the pro's and con's of decentralization and what a more decentralized world would look like in practice.

0:42.8	What's up, everybody? Every now and then, I will release an overtime segment on the main feed
1:00.7	because I either feel like it's so good that everyone needs to hear it,
1:05.2	or because I want people to get a sense of just how good the over times are in order to convert
1:11.2	more of you into premium subscribers. Both reasons are true in this case.
1:16.9	As I mentioned, in the intro to the first part of today's conversation,
1:21.3	published just a few weeks ago, this was one of the best conversations I've ever had on the podcast.
1:28.4	So first things first, I just wanted to prove to all of you that I wasn't lying.
1:34.3	But more importantly, I felt that this conversation was just too important to leave behind the
1:40.0	paywall, not only because of how interesting the geopolitical analysis is, but especially because
1:46.0	Radigan's comments around generational despair, the dark side of decentralization, and how we might
1:52.2	go about trying to heal the divide in our country. It's something that you just don't hear enough

2:05.0	about. And that's a problem because my generation is going to be taking over in this decade.
2:10.6	We're probably going to have a millennial president in the next 10 years, so our concerns
