Eyes on the World

We discuss the state of democracy in the EU, and also whether it is time to redefine democracy. A short, but very substantial episode. As usual we started chatting on the topic and then let AI create the podcast, based on our chat. 

This podcast episode discusses China's economic and technological rise, contrasting its achievements with Western perceptions.

We discuss what in our opinion the best subjects would be to teach in elementary and high school. We leave no stone untouched and go all in. We hope you like it and we also hope that it will make you think!

We discuss prepping. Why are people doing it and what different ways are there to do it? Does it make sense to prep? As usually, we try to look at it from different angles. 

We discuss first what criteria we can use to compare all religions. Then we go into what all religions have in common and even go into what death means and what it is. A true deep dive ;)

In this episode we talk about declining populations in the "developed" world, and the still fastly growing populations in countries like Niger.  Are declining fertility rates in the "developed" world a problem? How many people would be ideal in this world? We try to look at this from different angles. 

The topic of our 10th episode is the question why people seem to behave irrationally oftentimes. Many people do things even though they know this is not going to work out for them in the long run. At the same time there are many people who don't do certain things, even though they know they would be very good for them. We think these are very important questions, worthy of our time.

With the remarkable successes of drones against tanks the question arises whether tanks are obsolete. Certainly a lot of people seem to think so but we try to look more deeply into this theme. 

With the Congressional hearings in the US Aliens are more than ever a hot topic. We try to cover a wide range of aspects of this topic in our Google doc.
