After the Verdict, How to Be Happy, Liberalism in Peril
Manage episode 421202993 series 3011044
Ravi kicks off the show with breaking news, including updates on Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial, ex-OpenAI board member Helen Toner’s tell-all interview about Sam Altman’s short-lived firing, why the Texas elections have seen a wave of pro-school voucher candidates, and the latest drama in New York City’s casino permit fight.
Ravi then welcomes Adam Gopnik, legendary staff writer at The New Yorker, to talk about his book, “All That Happiness Is,” what it truly means to be happy, and the unexpected benefits that can come from learning new skills. They then turn to Adam’s latest piece in The New Yorker, "Why Liberals Struggle to Defend Liberalism,” and discuss why liberal democracy is in crisis, what we get wrong when we talk about Hitler, and the importance of pluralism in a healthy society.
