Summary

An average American's abstract, analytical discussion of political concepts, history, and the systems driving current events that takes the world as it is, whether we like it or not. We'll expose how human nature and evolutionary forces lead us to act cuckoo-bananas, drive our society off a cliff, and make our political discourse too toxic to touch, all while reaffirming our own biases and moral superiority.
