Listen "Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast explores the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, framing it as a symbolic act of rebellion against a corrupt healthcare system. It argues that the CEO's death, while violent, represents a culmination of systemic injustices and the prioritization of profit over human well-being. The author suggests that this event, though seemingly isolated, reflects a wider societal imbalance and impending collapse, highlighting the interconnectedness of violence, greed, and systemic failures within American institutions. The piece uses the Hopi word "Koyaanisqatsi," meaning "life out of balance," to encapsulate this societal crisis. Ultimately, it questions whether such acts of violence are inevitable until systemic change occurs.
