The End is Always Near - Dan Carlin 4/5

[Nicole D.]

My son is a big fan of Hardcore History podcast, and he introduced me to Dan Carlin and I like him. He talks about history in a way that is really accessible (in fact I wish he'd done the book on the Six Day War I'm reading, because it's Wander City for me and that book...but I digress.)

Carlin takes an interesting position here, and goes through history and essentially tells us all the catastrophic stuff humanity has already survived. War, Famine, plague, dictators ... Hitler. So you can look at this one of two ways ... we're always on the brink of extinction and you never know where it will come from, or humanity has survived this long, and will likely survive "this" too. Whatever this is. Currently "this" for me is orange and unpleasant.

I'm laughing, but it is really no laughing matter.
