0G101: Player of Games and Authoritarian Essentialism, Part 2

Published: May 6, 2020, 4 a.m.

We survived the zombies! We escaped from earth to space and found another society that is also terrible but is not actively being overrun by zombies. For part two of our Player of Game time we dive into the Empire of Azad and their essentialist culture. We discuss how essentialism naturally plays a major role in authoritarian cultures and undermines meritocracy.
