[TS]
00:11:45
◼

Jenny they got me like John I got mixed
[TS]
00:11:47
◼

feelings about that they installed this

00:11:49
◼

stuff in my house and every time I walk
[TS]
00:11:50
◼
►
in I hit the light switch and then it
[TS]
00:11:53
◼

makes a decision and and I'm standing
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
there in the doorway my arms laden with
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
groceries or irm carry a girl across the

00:12:05
◼

threshold or something
[TS]

switch and then it thinks about what
[TS]
00:12:11
◼

it's going to do for a second it seems
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
like we hit the the opening of west side
[TS]
00:12:15
◼

story and maybe the lights are just
[TS]

sometimes they go up a little now John

00:12:22
◼

and that's the reason they come on a
[TS]
00:12:24
◼

light switch and there's a reason the
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
late decision must be looking now it's
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
it is a reason that that is the analogy
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
for on and off it should give it a flick
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
it should be audible and then the room
[TS]
00:12:34

should be flooded with light lights on

00:20:18
◼

actually something i heard last weekend
[TS]
00:20:20

and succeed because they're stupid and

because there's lots of them and when

is they run around and do these little

paths and when they pick up a more

1984-85 if you want anyone right ok very
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
clearly like that transition that's
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
right Reagan Reagan has like Jason Brown
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
in tell people because i don't want no
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
spoilers but I i think it's conceptually
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
setting aside the girl from Felicity who
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
I would eat off a cracker
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
I i think it's consistently or she's so
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
my type
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
can we talk about her she's got no hips
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
yes I didn't know me we're talking about
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
before because you mentioned and I was
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
like oh sure but i had no idea that
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
she's bitchy saw her and said that's
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
that's why did i see i see here and I'm
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
like up there it is that's one of those
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
Merlin girl she's got this big eyes
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
yeah but so the premise of the show is
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
that the that there are sleeper agents
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
from the Soviet Union living in America
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
as Americans basically for all practical
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
purposes in the city and they were like
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
raised as Americans yeah they're like
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
KGB agents not allowed not allowed to
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
speak Russian but they're dead but
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
they're devoted to the cause and I think
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
one of the interesting things about the
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
show is that it reminds me of a time
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
when soviet-style communism still seemed
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
it is plausible to me in 1981 that
[TS]
00:31:40
◼
►
people in America were still harboring
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
sympathy with the Soviet Union I
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
remember I remember a time when you know
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
when it was plausible that there were
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
people around who were still fellow
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
travelers okay yeah absolutely
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
yeah but so so that you know there are
[TS]
00:31:58
◼
►
some impossibilities about the show but
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
you know how much I love a spy show
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
oh it's in it's very it's got all those

►
Bourne in a minute but yes and and it's
[TS]
00:32:12
◼

got all the elements it should be a
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
little better than it is but it's really
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
good because it's got layers i think
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
it's written well I think it's acted
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►

relationship that he's obligated to be
[TS]
00:43:11

in because it's probably pretty

document and it was one of these things

where the writer had to see
[TS]
01:02:10
◼

he knew he knew that what he was saying

was going to be breezed over by most

01:02:17
◼

readers and so he had to say it three

times in order to make sure that we got

01:02:24
◼

what he was saying but what he was

paraphrasing oliver wendell holmes and

he was saying to the point of democracy
[TS]
01:02:34
◼

is just that we live democratically if
[TS]
01:02:40
◼

we are living democratically that then
[TS]
01:02:42
◼
►
democracy has fulfilled its purpose the
[TS]
01:02:45
◼

point of democracy is not to create a

01:02:49
◼

better society it is not to make sure
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
there are no poor it is not to make sure

[TS]
01:03:04
◼

that we are democratic and it does not
[TS]
01:03:08

end in mind is the process that
[TS]
01:03:10
◼

yeah Primus exactly and we we constantly
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
make we constantly make the mistake of
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
thinking on both sides of you know the
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
American political spectrum that the
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
point of democracy is two is that we
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
reach a consensus on all these topics or
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
that the middle and everybody gets a
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
vote on how we round this off so yeah
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
that the majority is going to rule and
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
therefore the majority has got to find
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
the way to this but to the truth i guess
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
and we spend all of our time yelling at
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
each other when really democracy is
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
succeed in and that is the that is it
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
the end like democracy is the process
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
works there is no other goal and but it
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
a different approach than most people
[TS]
01:04:05
◼

would say well yeah and and that then
[TS]
01:04:08
◼

[TS]
01:04:15
◼

it feels like all the disputes are
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
recapitulation of the same disputes they
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
are all if we know that on one end there
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
is democracy and on the other end there
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
are death camps and in between there are
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
lots of things at stake but it's always
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
been hard for me to get down at the
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
level of standing out in front of the
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
natural food co-op with a with a
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
clipboard and stopping people to talk
[TS]
01:04:50
◼

about the Clean Air Act i mean i i've
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
done it I but it's hard for me to it's
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
hard for me to be that invested in that
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
level of like this next incremental step
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
is really what I'm devoting myself to
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
but but I'm having a really hard time
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
living out at the living out of the
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
fringe to neither neither fringe place
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
is very comfortable
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
yeah I I feel the same way um you know
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
another thing is i guess it's helpful to
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
figure out what you know how we're going
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
to finally democracy means but the first
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
thing comes to mind for me is democracy
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
in the same way as being like social
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
media in a sense that with social media
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
each of us tend to think of it in one
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
way or another as publishing we publish
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
something we talk about it
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
somebody published something and we
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
talked about it but you know I wonder
[TS]
01:05:51
◼
►
how many people who are heavily involved
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
in social media would would want to
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
participate if all they could do is read
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
what other people had to say and in
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
democracy we see most interested in
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
democracy in the sense that we get to
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
vote arm and I think for my guess is
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
that for most people it's not as
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
interesting there's lots of other people
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
voting too because then that breaks
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
straight down into the partisan blahdy
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
blah blah let's do about this again on
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
Twitter kind of stuff
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
that's why i have so much Aloha for
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
things like the ACLU and for Judaism in
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
general general because the ACLU is not
[TS]
01:06:24
◼
►
doesn't really care what your point of
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
view is they just want to make sure you
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
have a way to say it and I just see did
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
I just take a glimpse of the matrix
[TS]
01:06:30
◼
►
there you might have
[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
it's gone now alright have it then i
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
also have this way i can never do this
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
but I have an admiration for this
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
culture and Judaism of just arguing all
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
the time for the sake of argument I mean
[TS]
01:06:42
◼
►
it's really part it's it's part of what
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
you do if you're if you're going to be
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
in a scholarly tradition am I wrong like
[TS]
01:06:50
◼
►
a lot of what you do is talk about what
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
this means and what is right and and
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
that's it's not like you're ever going
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
to end it and go you know you which mall
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
you know it this is the whole point is
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
to have this argument that's what we do
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
and you never think of it as an argument
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
I mean it's just it's a conversation
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
that goes on and on and on and involves
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
and sometimes somebody make it a dinner
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
in that makes it into the book the final
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
stitches what the culture is I said this

01:07:14
◼
►
the other day and tweeted it was and I

01:07:16
◼
►
sardonically but now i'm now I'm
[TS]
01:07:18
◼

thinking about it differently based on
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
what you're saying like I said another
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
seven billion people in the world and i
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
can't wait until each one finds their
[TS]
01:07:25
◼

voice and I i meant it in the sense that
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
we cannot possibly we cannot possibly
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
sustain this we cannot possibly
[TS]
01:07:35
◼

sustained through seven billion people
[TS]
01:07:37
◼
►
the amount of like narcissistic self
[TS]
01:07:41
◼

reflection that the that the 20 million
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
Americans who are on Twitter right now
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
are indulging themselves in but maybe
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
what you're saying is what like seven
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
billion people all arguing
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
simultaneously will create some kind of
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
ticker tape
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
of of consensus knowledge is it depends
[TS]

and I this is the fifth time probably i
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
set it on here but it always it always
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
strikes me that you know that people are
[TS]
01:08:31
◼

so much more interested in persuading
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
other people to a think that the think

01:08:36
◼

the way that they do even if it's really
[TS]
01:08:38
◼

fucked up silly way of thinking but then
[TS]
01:08:40
◼

to be thinking away that comports with
[TS]
01:08:43
◼

there's not that many people who spend
[TS]
01:08:47
◼

01:08:49
◼

listen to other people to develop a
[TS]
01:08:51
◼

better view point i don't but the point
[TS]
01:08:53
◼

is in in all these cases what I'm
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
getting out poorly is that all the

[TS]
01:09:21
◼

here to do some pretty big fitting
[TS]
01:15:31
◼

you about this idea that is it is a too
[TS]
01:16:18
◼

fast to say like that the rhetoric is
[TS]
01:16:20
◼

useful if it's in the service of the
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
process but the process still has to has
[TS]
01:16:25
◼

to work on some fundamental level that
[TS]
01:16:26
◼

big pointy building has to have that

[TS]
01:16:58
◼

lost in the weeds of the way our culture
[TS]
01:17:02
◼

has devolved and feeling time and time
[TS]
01:17:06
◼

mission is to go back up to the place
