    Let Dorsey Live, Impractical Leftists, Education's New Frontier Apr 09, 2024
    Show notes

    Ravi kicks off today's episode by taking a critical look at the case of Brian Dorsey, a prisoner in Missouri facing the death penalty. Missouri Governor Mike Parson denied Dorsey’s clemency request this week, despite over 70 correctional officers supporting the plea. Ravi discusses how the case highlights important questions about the country’s sentencing system, including its fairness and ability to deter crime and rehabilitate prisoners.

    Next, Ravi talks to Arash Azizi about his recent article in The Atlantic titled “Too Much Purity Is Bad for the Left.” Arash argues that the left needs to become a more unified coalition to make a difference in politics and people’s lives.

    Then, Linda Jacobson from The 74 joins Ravi for a conversation about how Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are changing the educational landscape. They dissect the growth of ESAs, the emergence of micro-schools, and how sufficient oversight of new learning models could support the future of education.

    Show notes

    In this episode, Ravi welcomes Noah Smith from Noahpinion. They kick off the show by discussing the economic, political, and cultural challenges of today’s immigration realities, covering topics from how immigrants impact U.S. wages to whether there are ties between immigration and rising crime rates.

    Will AI save us? Noah and Ravi debate the potential effects of AI on the workforce and discuss the role of comparative advantage in determining AI's ultimate impact on the world.

    Finally, they tackle the importance of math education in narrowing educational gaps and promoting equity, particularly for disadvantaged students, and how the continued devaluation of the teaching profession has affected education as a whole.

    Squatter Hysteria, Youth Political Divide, Dying with Dignity Apr 02, 2024
    Show notes

    As discourse around squatting reaches a tipping point, Stephen Kent returns to the pod to talk with Ravi about whether squatter incidents are growing, or if this is a manufactured phenomenon.

    The Economist recently published a comprehensive look at why young women are now more likely to identify as liberal and young men are more likely to identify as conservative. Ravi and Stephen debate the findings and speculate over the reasons behind this gender divide.

    Finally, Ravi and Stephen delve into the controversial topic of euthanasia, or medical aid in death. They react to the increasing number of U.S. laws surrounding the practice and how the domestic debate compares to other countries.

    Broke Trump?, TikTok Politics, Peak Wellness Mar 20, 2024
    Show notes

    In this episode, Ravi speaks with Bradley Tusk, CEO and founder of Tusk Ventures, about Donald Trump’s inability to post the $454 million bond from his New York fraud case.

    After overwhelmingly passing the House, the TikTok divestiture legislation faces new challenges on its journey to the President's desk after Senators from both sides of the aisle have expressed concerns about the bill. Ravi and Bradley debate the bill’s fate and how the government could reign in the big social media companies.

    Lastly, they cover how tough it can be to keep up with a healthy lifestyle. They dive into why exercise, diet, and mental health are key, how challenging it can be to keep up with wellness advice, and why psychedelics and meditation might help.

    Good and Bad Trends in Healthcare with Dr. Dhruv Khullar Mar 14, 2024
    Show notes

    Ravi welcomes back Dr. Dhruv Khullar, a physician and assistant professor at Cornell and contributing writer at The New Yorker, to tackle recent trends in healthcare and longevity.

    They start by discussing how hospital and private equity acquisitions of physician practices have influenced healthcare costs and the quality of care, including the results of a new study by The Economist that explores how and why healthcare costs in America have remained generally consistent since 2010.

    Finally, Ravi and Dhruv examine Dhruv’s recent piece in The New Yorker that looks at President Joe Biden’s age, what his age tells us about his fitness for office, and how public perception on this topic could influence the 2024 election.

    TikTok Ban, Woke AI, Blue City Backtrack, Falling Standards Mar 12, 2024
    Show notes

    Will Congress ban TikTok? Ravi and guest co-host Stephen Kent explore the platform’s data practices, censorship, and why its China-based parent company, ByteDance, could pose national security risks.

    They then examine Google AI’s “Gemini,” and how recent critiques of the tool’s biased portrayals of historical figures exemplify the challenges tech companies face in curbing AI-driven bias and misinformation.

    A comprehensive new report from The Economist shows American high school standards are on the decline. They discuss its effects on kids across the country and what sensible schooling solutions could look like.

    Finally, have blue cities backtracked? Ravi and Stephen take a look at Super Tuesday’s outcomes and why they may signal a change in political trends.
