The Information War & Things Worth Fighting For | Demetri Kofinas

In Episode 242 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas shares an appearance he made on "The Realignment" podcast a week before the invasion of Ukraine. Demetri spoke to the seriousness with which he views the information problem and the information war that we're all combatants in today, the move from unipolarity to a world of disorder, as well as the spiritual deadening that he feels we've all been living through. He also discusses the need for both a national purpose and a sense of self that is inclusive, communal, and forgiving of our individual shortcomings—a sense of self that makes space for the imperfections of a human life.

The world that we are living in today is not the world that most of us grew up in and the next few years are going to be crucial in determining how we want to face the challenges of this new world and more importantly who we want to be coming out the other side of it. What matters to us? Who are we, beyond the carefully curated exteriors that we present on our social media feeds? What do we deem worth fighting for? That's a question we have yet to answer and haven't had to answer for a very long time. This is a luxury we can no longer afford.
