Summary

Friend of the show Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) joins the gang to talk about ancient state formation… and also a strange book written by a venture capitalist about how this entity called The Network (him and his friends) will replace God and the State as the Leviathan of 21st century society.

0:00.0	Hello, everyone and welcome to this free episode of T.F. It's the free one. It sure fucking is. It's me, Riley, and I'm joined by Milo and Hussein. And we are joined by
0:24.9	I think like 10. You're joined by two gentlemen. Podcasting nature. And we are joined by another
0:31.6	gentleman of a historical nature who will be making his, I don't know, 10th, 12th returning
0:36.1	guest visit. It's Patrick Wyman.
0:38.3	Hello, thank you again for having me.
0:40.2	This is like my favorite thing to do.
0:41.5	I'm very excited.

1:38.7	crumbling, collapsing, complex systems breaking down, the Bronze Age collapse, and so on and so on. This
1:44.0	time, however, I wanted us and so on. This time,
1:44.4	however, I wanted us to be positive. I wanted us to talk about state formation and making
