I hope you enjoy this opinionated superficial overview of a topic I can only suspect I won't be the one to change your mind about. But divinely inspired or not, please bear with me as I try to cover thousands of years of history in mere minutes so that once we get to the modern era we have enough context and narrative to give it the proper weight. Also sorry this episode took so long to get out, it was extremely hard to write and then we accidentally spilled an entire cup of coffee on our editing computer and it took a great deal of effort to dry it.
