“Since 1991, the video game Civilization, now in its seventh installment, has become one of the most successful game franchises ever. That means millions of kids have grown up with Civ as one of their formative ways of thinking about history.” (via @jstor.bsky.social) #AcademicSky

History and Civilization - JSTOR Daily

Baffling that one of the world’s wealthiest men decides to lecture for 8 hours in a closed door session about authoritarian power and then conclude charity is the problem.
