Today we're diving deep into the complex world of global conflict and human nature with none other than Shane Smith. Shane is the co-founder of VICE and a decorated journalist whose boots-on-the-ground experiences have shaped his unique understanding of war and its impact on society. Shane shares some intense stories and powerful insights about the thin line between good and evil, why war never ends well, and how humanity's survival instinct breeds conflict. We'll also tackle some heavy historical parallels and Shane's eye-opening perspective on geopolitical stability. If you want a gripping look into the chaos of war and human nature, stick around.SHOWNOTES00:00 Tech Arms Race: War vs. Utopia03:20 Nuclear Dystopia: Global Power Imbalance08:55 From Conflict to Prosperity10:24 Middle East Tensions Escalate Again13:42 Middle East Geopolitical Instability ConcernsCHECK OUT OUR SPONSORSRange Rover: Range Rover: Explore the Range Rover Sport at https://rangerover.com/us/sportAudible: Sign up for a free 30 day trial at https://audible.com/IMPACTTHEORY Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code IMPACT at check outThive Market: ​​Go to https:thrivemarket.com/impact for 30% off your first order, plus a FREE $60 gift!ITU: Ready to breakthrough your biggest business bottleneck?
