Anarchist's Dilemma
Manage episode 240373070 series 2534041
Evelyn and Shawn take a look at the old philosophers' mind experiment, the Prisoner's Dilemma, in the context of modern politics. What mechanisms are employed to continually convince people to make decisons that they think are good for them, in this case voting, in light of all the evidence to the contrary? What is authoritarianism, why is it only laid on the political right and how is it reinforced by this game. Tune in to find the answers to these questions and more.
