  • Hmm…

    It would be nice to hear a little more sincerity and less sarcasm. I understand you guys are going with the satire point of view with things it’s kind of annoying for something like a philosophy podcast to be satire. Maybe that’s too meta but that’s my opinion. I am a person who does actually like satire in case you were wondering.

  • Mmm-hmmm

    I’m listening to the Brittany Page interview which I found really interesting & really fought to get through it due to the host’s constant “mmm-hmm-ing” throughout. I know it’s intended to endear support of & interest in the guest but it’s really distracting.

Guerrero believes that Lottocracy can offer a functional alternative to democracy, even if electoral democracy could work well in smaller communities.
Lottocracy with Alex Guerrero
Q: Why would we want a democracy without elections?

It's to solve a puzzle that I accidentally walked myself into.
Liberal Socialism with Matt McManus
