Domination Chronicles: 2026 - The Year Ahead

This New Year’s conversation looks ahead by returning to the central themes of the work: domination, free existence, law, language, technology, and the long histories that shape present choices. Newcomb and d’Errico ask how to keep reading deeply in a moment when public language often rewards speed, slogans, and institutional performance.

The episode is an orientation for the year rather than a prediction. It connects old legal narratives with new technologies, asking how claims of domination adapt to changing conditions. The hosts emphasize the need for close attention to documents, terms, and stories, because domination often survives by appearing inevitable or benevolent. For readers of the Doctrine of Discovery Project, the episode offers a useful frame: the work is not only about exposing the past. It is also about learning how old patterns reappear in contemporary forms and how original free existence can guide the questions we ask next.
