Professor Lawrence Lessig released a video blaming men over 50 for the election of George W. Bush and Donald Trump, as well as the failure of climate change legislation. Lessig argues that if 18-to-34-year-olds had voted at the same rate as seniors, the Iraq War and "Nazi rallies" at Charlottesville would have been avoided. The hosts dismiss Lessig's "self-loathing" narrative and his assumptions about youth voting patterns.
Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig advocates for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to effectively abolish the Electoral College. The hosts argue the system was designed to prevent high-population states like California from dominating national elections and criticize Lessig's stance as "sour grapes" following the 2016 election.
The book "Psychiatry Under the Influence" by Robert Whitaker is recommended for its investigation into the institutional corruption of the psychiatric industry. The text argues that the science behind psychiatric drugs is deeply flawed and influenced by pharmaceutical interests. The book features a foreword by Lawrence Lessig and is cited as essential reading for understanding the "brain science" industry.
