  • Three cheers for Graham Culbertson!

    Come for the politics, stay for the discussions on literature, cinema, games, history, and anything and everything else that arises in these delightfully anarchic conversations.

    Always a joy to listen to!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

191. The Deep American Constitution -- Mark Peterson
Q: If crises keep arising and the current system is failing, what path forward do you propose for Americans to reimagine a new constitution?
Peterson suggests encouraging public planning and thinking about a better constitution, emphasizing that crises often demand new solutions outside the old rules and that citizens should engage in active constitution-making rather than waiting for elite reform.
191. The Deep American Constitution -- Mark Peterson
Q: What do you think about mass uprisings like Shays' Rebellion in terms of their legitimacy and role in constitutional formation?
He explains that such uprisings were part of the democratic fabric of the time and helped catalyze political change, though later defenders of the Constitution labeled them as threats; the episode shows how popular action has historically influenced constitutional outcomes.
191. The Deep American Constitution -- Mark Peterson
Q: Could you summarize the central thesis of your book and why you think the Constitution should be understood as a social relationship rather than just a written document?
Peterson argues that constitutions are relational structures that connect land, people, and power, including unwritten norms and evolving practices, and that the written text is only one part of a larger social contract shaped by history and circumstances.
180. Aurora -- Kim Stanley Robinson
Q: What would you say to the response that we will surely solve insoluble problems in the future?
Hard science fiction is a political and passive-aggressive name, as all science fiction has elements of fantasy.
180. Aurora -- Kim Stanley Robinson
Q: Do you not normally get to talk about Aurora?
It still gets talked about, but only one time out of 20 compared to talking about Ministry for the Future.
