Are we finally coming to an era where the apocalypse is near and we should be moving to another planet, just like movies have predicted it? Our today\\u2019s guest has seen the future multiple times. G Michael Hopf is the author of the acclaimed and international bestselling post-apocalyptic series The New World. He also has authored dozens of other post-apocalyptic and western novels and he is convinced good times create weak men and that it only occurs every 80 or 90 years. He is an expert in historical cycles and is pretty sure 2020 is the year of civil war.\\xa0
Geoff lives with his family in San Diego, California and he is a veteran of the US Marine Corps, and he is here to teach us some major cycle lessons: The first 80-year cycle refers to how relevant warlike events take place, like the WWII and the US Civil War, and the second one refers to the change in political systems that happen every 250 years. This guy believes we are heading to the end of democracy in the US and that disarming population could be a bad idea, that nothing is for free and when people tell you is for free, it can always end up in tyranny.\\xa0
From post-apocalyptic stories to developing strategies for resistance, this guy is a true believer in the power of storytelling, holding on to the truth and why we should be moving to another planet a while ago. Discover in this episode how educational systems have brainwashed, discouraged and disable your people, the reason sometimes we feel lack meaning and purpose, feel lonely, and how to channel struggle to grow as human beings, and the perfect moment to publish your written work and show it to the world.
