Decoding China's Zero COVID Protests ft. James Palmer Jan 07, 2023

Show notes

How successful was China's 'Zero COVID' policy really? And what does it mean that the Chinese Communist Party has now abandoned it and COVID is spreading throughout the country? James Palmer of Foreign Policy joins the podcast to discuss COVID in China, the CCP's response, and what this means for more than one billion Chinese people. We talk about how zero COVID worked, why people eventually began to protest it nationwide, how bad things really are in China right now, and how this impacts Xi Jinping's future.

Why are we all so Chronically Online? ft. Rebecca Jennings Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Everybody loves a good social media trainwreck - posts so bad that you can't look away. But how did we get like this? Have we always been like this, and social media just gave us a new way to express it? Vox's Rebecca Jennings joins the show to talk about 'Chronically Online' discourse. We talk about why people say the insane things they say on Twitter, TikTok, and other platforms, why we can't resist a good dogpile on those people, and what it means for our culture and our politics.

How do we get an Abundance Agenda? ft. Derek Thompson & Suraj Patel Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

What is the Abundance Agenda and how do we get there? Atlantic writer and author Derek Thompson and former Congressional candidate Suraj Patel join the show to discuss how to build an abundant society. Are the problems we're facing problems of scarcity? If the things we need like medical care, housing, and child care are getting scarcer and more expensive, why is the supply so low? How can we increase the supply of those things? And most importantly - how can we build a winning political coalition for the ideas that will increase supply and build abundance?

Show notes

This week's episode is a joint episode with Andrew Heaton's podcast, The Political Orphanage.

What are we losing by dedicating so much time and money to the bureaucratic process of filling out the paperwork? All this and more discussed as Jeremiah and Andrew talk about a better way forward to protect the environment.
