Do we live in democracies? Sort of.

We don't seem to be very good at solving some very big problems - and I'm not convinced that this is because most people don't want them solved.

Is there something in the design of our societies that fails to reckon with the real powers we have to forge the worlds we might want? Inevitably.

In this episode Chris reviews some of the bigger problems in our social design and explores some radical solutions, many of which he would introduce today as Emperor-in-Chief.
