Why hierarchical power breeds paranoia: Stalin, Xi Jinping, Macbeth | Niall Ferguson

Very interesting short blurb about why power fears uncontrolled social networks, and why they’re correct to do so.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. He brings up some very good points. CPG Grey’s video has also made some compelling points about hierarchical rulers (and rulers in general) and how they do and don’t stay in power. I think both these videos illuminate a lot about the workings of rulership.

Very thought provoking.
