Will Tucker and I explore Aristotle's writings on Tyranny and its means of preservation, including humiliation of the subjects. Mr Tucker presents his research on the occult metaphysics of ritual humiliation; Noahidism as 'decapitation through humiliation'; Nicholas de Cusa's concept of \"learned ignorance\" and the relations with kenotic theology, personalism and kabbalah. Will Tucker traces the humiliation ritual as a heterodox form of esoteric mystagogy to condition the intellect and will towards \"divine nothingness.\" Mr Tucker's substack: https://analogia.substack.com/ The Analogia Entis channel: https://www.youtube.com/@analogiaentis To support my research and channel, and to access premium content please consider joining either my Locals or Substack (the Beletage): https://thetwocitiespodcast.locals.com https://substack.com/@thetwocitiespodcast?","meta_description":"A major feature of contemporary politics, media and culture is the humiliation ritual.
