Henry made his point that it's hard to justify why your boss shouldn't have all the tomato sauce when they have the power to fire you at a whim, and it is immediately followed by an ad for hiring new employees. The irony of this is so juicy I would be shocked if it wasn't intentional.

Thank you for the new podcast episode!

Thank you for these interesting podcasts

Asking the question seems out of context. Democracy is good at solving problems if you elect good problem solvers and bad at solving problems if you elect bad problem solvers, so it doesn't really have anything to do with Democracy that problems get solved. And what is the definition of a problem in this context? I can't see a single thing a good king couldn't do better than a democracy, absolute power does tend to be a good thing if it's used for good, but absolute power is horrible if the person use it to be horrible. The "point" of Democracy is that their is a limit to how bad you can be to the voters. Where a King has no limit on how bad he can be to his own people.

I'd love to hear a conversation between Henry Farrell and Richard D. Wolff.

Who fact checks the fact checkers though?

I really enjoyed listening to this one

Centralized/authoritarian systems like democracy and totalitarianism are great, when they are fully voluntary. Otherwise, governance has to be decentralized, so that everyone is able to be free to do what they were made (by nature and nuture) to do, so that they can find their niche role in life, allowing the whole world (and beyond) to flourish through the diversity of creativity and curiosity that biology generates. This is as opposed to what nations, states, cities, corporations, and many educational institutions have been doing, with humans and other kinds of animal, vegetable, and mineral forms of people being forced into some kind of unavoidable obedience that has them doing something they aren't well designed to do, and don't love doing, and thus will naturally be not so great at, leading to life being worse for everyone in the long fun.
