THINGS HIDDEN Film Series: Sir Owen Comes to Dine

In this second entry of the THINGS HIDDEN film series, David Gornoski, the host of A Neighbor’s Choice, dines with geopolitical analyst Sir Owen Whitman for a fascinating conversation into the violent nature of human beings. The two start by discussing the satanic system of war profiteering built into government. David and Sir Owen then explore the concept of the government as a “necessary evil” to check individual evils. What does this say about human nature? “The easiest way to control someone is money,” Sir Owen says, “If that doesn’t work, then you use ideology.” The conversation shifts to an analysis of the history of violent revolutions, particularly the Ethiopian revolution. Will humanity ever move past its lust for violence?
