Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

Why was Britain the source and origin of the Miracle? Just introducing the topic, with a number of digressions about Charles I, the Republican period, Cromwell and more Stupidity Smart People Commit. Another about the Anabaptists and their role in the American Revolution. Religion and Literacy. Ending with a discussion of a special cognitive error smart people are particularly vulnerable to, with reference to Sabine Hossenfelder.
