This podcast on the Decline of Nations is now my favourite, next the your interview with Douglas Ruskoff (Survival of the richest). Still lots of Unnamed excellent material on TGS, which I listen to again and again.

With everything going on in the world right now, this interview captures exactly where my head is, where I think the world is going, and what can possibly be done to stop us from falling headlong into World War III.

That was really interesting. You should try to talk to Dr. Stephen Hicks about altruism and group dynamics.
