If you’ve ever looked around at the world and thought, “How did we get so bad at working together?” — you’re not alone. It’s strange, isn’t it? Cooperation is the very thing that made us human. It is our oldest survival skill, our secret superpower. Yet somewhere along the way, we traded that in for hierarchy, control, and competition.
In this bonus edition of Afterthoughts, we’re going to talk about how power hijacked human progress, how systems built to organize us ended up dividing us, and how we can reclaim cooperation as both a moral value and a practical tool for survival.
Because let’s be honest: no one person, party, or ideology can fix the mess we’re in. The only way forward — the only way — is together.
So, if you’re ready, let’s dive into another bonus episode of Afterthoughts!
