Ezra Klein invites you into a conversation on something that matters. How do we address climate change if the political system fails to act? Has the logic of markets infiltrated too many aspects of our lives? What is the future of the Republican Party? What do psychedelics teach us about consciousness? What does sci-fi understand about our present that we miss? Can our food system be just to human... more

  • Ya’ think?

    Klein likes to keep things fairly academic, which is fine but academic or intellectual doesn’t have to mean both-sides-ing the conversation to death, to the point of banality. The Yuval Levin interview, for example — in a mutual effort to stay above the fray — was so chock full of understatement that the episode was challenging to make it all the way through. For instance, Levin repeated that Trump is behaving differently than other presidents. No kidding! He repeated that there’ll be lasting d... more

  • Has Trump Achieved Less?

    Honestly, no one gives a flying F. The regime is winning their war on social

    media with videos of ICE brutality. And while it’s important to document (I’m on the side of resistance) documentation generates fear. That fear seems to be galvanizing resistance but with the constant admonition to be non-violent while the other side is galvanized to increase repression/brutality. We are in a terrible, pivotal place.

  • Fair and balanced with Yuval Levin

    I’ve always found EZ to be insightful and to conduct a prepared interview. This one with Mr Levin is no exception, a man I had never know about. He’s conservative in a way similar to Bill Kristol, though I’d say more intellectual and less charismatic than Bill. His communication style is very easy to listen to and can lull you into agreeability.

    I imagine I would disagree with him on many issues, but that’s okay because he’s not a crazed lunatic. I was soothed to hear that he believes Trump is... more
