Summary
In this next instalment of the Evolve series on the evolution of culture and society, Beth is joined by historian, journalist, author, speaker, editor, and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation , Matt Ehret , for a wide-angle conversation on geopolitics. This episode asks deeper questions than the usual headlines allow. Rather than focusing solely on villains, conspiracies, or surface-level power struggles, this conversation explores how power itself has evolved over time — and how culture, creativity, and human intention have shaped (and reshaped) the geopolitical landscape. Together, we explore: How power structures have historically formed, fractured, and transformed What arose organically from culture versus what was engineered by shifting centers of power How empires, ideologies, and institutions evolve in response to human consciousness Why understanding history matters if we want a different future How to stay oriented toward optimism and agency without denying real harm or corruption Matt brings a rare blend of historical depth and future-oriented vision, offering a perspective that doesn’t collapse into despair — but instead points toward human creativity as an active force in history . This episode of Beth of Fresh Air is an invitation to look at geopolitics not as a fixed chessboard controlled by unseen hands, but as a living process — one that is still unfolding, and still open to influence.
