In turn, through the germination of the cosmopolitan seeds sown in this hostile environment, the cosmopolitan resolve which tended toward non-intervention in its nascent Kantian stage, has shifted to one of military interventions on behalf of humanity. The resurrection of this global cosmopolitan ethos has partly occurred in response to this modern illustration of the world. ![]() Simultaneously, this contemporary era is depicted as fertile breeding ground for new forms of conflict: from genocide, to ethnic cleansing, to civil wars. In lieu of this deemed ‘archaic model,’ it is said that the world system of states and its peoples have entered a new era of enlightenment captured by a wide-spread embrace of a ‘cosmopolitan’ ethos pronounced particularly by eager academicians.

Email and your question may be answered via Matt’s Inside Line. How is Silo not just the Snowpiercer train sat on its butt in a deep hole.? We (respectfully!) pose that question at the 4:25 mark, and Howey and Yost weigh in on the sci-fi comparison.
