We take a look at Trump's foreign policy and what we can extrapolate from the Maduro raid, Iran strikes, and the National Security Strategy. Basically, Trump loves a good bargain, likes to stay flexible, and isn't a fan of either Europeans or Congress.

A lot of people are saying that Maduro's kidnapping/capture/extradition/etc. violates international law; others say that international law is a joke and it's naive to care. On this episode, we'll look at this argument, where international law comes from, and how it coincides with basic social norms such as not farting in an elevator.

With Trump's push to redistrict everything under the sun controlled by Republicans - and Newsom's attempt to establish himself as the Democratic frontrunner by outdoing him - gerrymandering is more relevant in 2026 than ever before. Here's a look at how the process leads directly to our hyper-partisan political environment.

How do you know your boss is having an affair with his secretary? We talk about how we use our senses to form the reality we live in, which ultimately is nothing more than a mental construction of our minds, and the impact that communications with others have on this reality.

Facts may be facts, but they can be interpreted very differently. These differences account for the fact that Republicans and Democrats often seem to live in different worlds. Also, I'll take half an hour to discuss a single question and spend a lot of time insulting someone who probably doesn't deserve it.

What would happen in a world with no racism and no sexism? For one thing, a lot of people (activists, NGOs, academics, pundits, etc.) would be out of work. This episode looks at an industry of individuals making their living off fighting social injustice and the perverse incentives this creates.

We look at how Americans have divided political discourse into right- and left-wing silos, and how this makes it more convenient to hate one another with optimal efficiency.

We examine the importance of making decisions based on how things are, rather than how we think they should be, using the Russia-Ukraine peace plan as a case study.
