Episode 39: Polling Problems (with Sierra)

from The Caffeine Stream

Today Sierra and I dive into polling, particularly political "opinion polls." Much of our discussion revolves around Christopher Hitchens' 1992 essay "Voting in the Passive Voice," which can be found on Harper's archive here: https://tinyurl.com/2p9xrkum We also discuss Gaetano Mosca's notion of "political formulas," a concept I learned about from Curtis Yarvin, but which can be read about in The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom by James Burnham, which is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Machiavellians-Defenders-Freedom-James-Burnham/dp/1839013958 Leave a rating and review, it really helps others to find the podcast.
