  • Great podcast, long time fan. Love the episode with Malala Yousafzai - she is so strong, a survivor, working for education for girls and women. While still being human, and relatable. An icon.

ReThinking: Taking politicians out of politics with Hélène Landemore
Q: If there's anything that people in Congress value, even more than money, it's holding onto their power. What do we do about that?
The solution is likely a bottom-up approach, leveraging citizens' assemblies to demonstrate their utility and legitimacy to politicians.
ReThinking: Taking politicians out of politics with Hélène Landemore
Q: If we wanted to have a citizen-led government and get rid of politicians, what would this look like?
The model involves replacing elected officials with a lottery system that grants ordinary citizens the authority to legislate.
ReThinking: Taking politicians out of politics with Hélène Landemore
Q: How did you first come to this idea?
It started in the 1990s when I read Bernard Manon, The Principles of Representative Government, and was influenced by the Icelandic constitutional process later.
ReThinking: Following your purpose (not your passion) with comedian Zarna Garg
Q: Do you still think your humor is a curse?

Q: What advice do you have for people thinking about a mid-career or late-career switch?
