What in the world is going on with people these days? Why does the division in our country seem so deep and irreconcilable?
If one attitude can sum up our culture at the moment, it’s “I’m okay, you’re *not* okay.”
According to Michael Drew, we’ve been here before. Back in 1940 or so….and 1860 before that. We go through this every 80 years.
Brink and Producer Jim talk to Michael who co-authored a book called, “Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future” and it’s astonishingly accurate.
Listen to this as well as past episodes, comment, ask questions and subscribe to the show:
