Noam and Jen spend this last episode before the election discussing the intricacies of the popular anime Neon Genesis: Evangelion, how its themes refer back to the Old Testament, and the value of subjugating one's personal desires to the greater good.

Nah, just kidding. They discuss the accusation leveled by Nate Silver and Nate Cohn that the 2024 general election polls are the victim of herding, which is the desire to not stand out from the crowd by publishing polling results that would be perceived as outliers to…well there are a lot of reasons they get into. They briefly discuss Trump's last week of campaigning and what the hell it means, from dump trucks to mic stands to Liz Cheney.

Stick around to the end of the pod for Noam's truly heterodox opinion about what electoral outcome would be best for America and whether he and Jen will attend the post-election pink keffiyeh protest.
