Uncivilised: Ten Lies That Made the West with Subhadra Das (FULL EVENT) | FANE

Isn't it time we asked who really benefits from the values at the core of our society? Join writer, historian, broadcaster, and comedian Subhadra Das to celebrate the release of her new book, Uncivilised: Ten Lies that Made the West.
Subhadra’s debut book is a lively and irreverent exploration of ten founding ideas of Western civilisation that encourages us to look at the world with fresh eyes.
Some things are a given: knowledge is power, time is money, justice is blind. But what if many of the big ideas that underpin Western civilisation are not just ideas? What if they're outright lies?
In conversation, Subhadra puts everything back on the table and asks viewers to reconsider what they thought they knew about civilisation, starting with the ten lies that have shaped all our lives.
Uncivilised: Ten Lies That Made the West with Subhadra Das was originally broadcast on Mon 15 Apr 2024.

Entertaining and informative.

Blackfoot nation Toronto? I think she confuses the Blackfoot nation with the Iroquois Confeda6...

Possibly the same confederates...many of the tribes were nomadic and followed seasonal migrations. Fixed borders, like property rights, are European feudal inventions to divide and sequester land and resources for exclusivist warrior elites. www.google.com/search?q=blackfoot+tribe&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=abf976e12d8dcb8e&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ADLYWII6zgTVc7JYmTsmdecZsPujOIMjhA:1715265137296&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&vet=1&fir=gMlJuHNsqo4RkM%252C7o6U2jJf0UiYQM%252C%252Fm%252F016f5d%253BJZuNfj9QpvQwQM%252C7o6U2jJf0UiYQM%252C_%253Blju0v9mIDU_3QM%252C7o6U2jJf0UiYQM%252C_%253B8XZWV-d-CtJLjM%252Camhkucpv20ke9M%252C_%253B3lkMLCqDWJehYM%252CxWp28WFRabW6fM%252C_%253BAiFgv5VnPbfLTM%252Cc0Wf4D-vuIhqgM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kQS6H9GB-cWsmLZDQXhPWycsAN0tA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjs0dDJ5ICGAxXnWkEAHS33BKsQ_B16BAhXEAE#imgrc=gMlJuHNsqo4RkM
