INSOMNIA STREAM: HISTORIC ECHOES EDITION

Stream Summary

This stream, hosted by Devon Stack, explores recurring themes in American history and politics, focusing on the concept of “historic echoes”—how certain social and political problems persist across decades. The discussion weaves together the writings of Ernest Sevier Cox on race and civilization, the 1989 Washington Times “call boy” scandal involving political elites, and broader reflections on the cyclical nature of societal issues. The host critiques the effectiveness of political solutions, the influence of comfort and propaganda on the populace, and the challenges of addressing controversial topics in a multicultural democracy.
