This film explores the reasons for the collapse of civilizations based on examples from history, as well as providing a perspective on potential future threats related to AI and the increasing control of states and corporations over individuals. The video touches on moral aspects and dilemmas that have existed in our history and are important to our modern society, such as women's rights, identity politics, etc.

A series of short documentary essays on political failures, historical memory and the stories societies tell themselves as they try to understand their own decline. Includes “Why Do Civilizations Collapse?”; “Is Democracy in Danger? Tech Elites and The Dark Enlightenment”; “Does Economic Inequality Inevitably Lead to Political Inequality?” and “Shame and Pride in History”.

This film explores the threats facing modern democracy and examines whether this political system remains popular. In particular, it highlights one potential danger — the neo-reactionary ideology known as “The Dark Enlightenment.” Although little known to the general public, this ideology has gained appeal among individuals who wield significant influence in the modern world: the technocratic elites.

This film answers questions about the relationship between economic and political inequality and the potential futures of both.

This film explores the issues of pride and shame in the national histories of states, addressing topics that spark debate in contemporary societies, such as colonial legacies, wars, religious conflicts, and economic exploitation. As demands for reparations grow in number and intensity, monuments are toppled, and moral values are reassessed, the need to distinguish between personal and collective responsibility becomes increasingly important, as does the need to address whether progress can ever justify atrocities.
