E4: No More Worlds Left to Conquer

Welp, that escalated quickly. Dan goes deep on international relations theories about how third-party nation-states respond to larger conflicts; Ana recalls everything she ever learned about post-modernism in order to deconstruct the Expanse's argument about nature versus nurture. Oh, and extended sidebar on the actual historical battle referenced in the title. But it's interesting, really! Also: thoughts on the prison industrial complex and how it might or might not change and wondering if Monica will write "The Looming Tower" of the attack on Earth. Get bonus content on Patreon
