It's election week in the US, and we had to talk about it. We talk about why America voted the way it did, what makes Trump so fascinating even after messing up so badly, and where does America go from here?
Nerdwriter - How Donald Trump Answers a Question
Prof. Ellie Glaude - Why America Isn't Unique
Tom Nichols - A Large Part of the Electorate Chose the Sociopath
About Blind Men and the Elephant:
When a few blind men come across a large elephant for the first time in their lives, they imagine the elephant to be what their hands tell them. This, without them ever knowing that the legs or the tusks that they feel are but one small part of this mammoth beast.
Where else have we seen this phenomenon? We all love talking about how we see the world. And we are always convinced that how we see it makes sense. But does it? Or, to really think about it, do we really see it? Or are we always just groping in the dark?
Niraj and Osho bring a podcast where they share new ideas that are hidden within echo chambers, algorithmic blindspots, or simply highlight anomalies in plain sight. This is a show which will have super engaging conversations between two friends who have tried to build successful careers in the fields of consulting and public policy, while always chasing novel perspectives on what’s going on around us. It is these perspectives that we dive into - from sport to finance, politics to wellness, technology to fashion - and invite you to see the world through our blind eyes.
