Phenomenal video. Have you ever considered publishing a supplemental paper for any of your videos?

Thanks that's an amazing complement. Normally most of my videos follow my research, but this one was for my teaching. Right now I'm using all the work I did researching this topic to get a new paper going. So stay tuned!

Should we think about the state of affairs? Yes,surely there's a better way to govern ourselves, collective leadership responsibility.

Stay tuned Robert, the next video is about whether conspiracy theories show us why democracy isn't fit for purpose and asks about the alternatives.

Michael Sandel has mirrored these ideas in recent years. The collapse of the material commons has created a collapse of a shared ontology. Sandel makes the analogy that baseball games used to have stadium seats where everyone was equal and although some seats were more expensive, you were still side by side. The introduction of skyboxes echoes the stratification of the rest of society. I'm not arguing for a unifying progressive nationalism, but the huddled masses will find a crown for an absent throne. The centre cannot hold and these turkeys will conjure a falconer. Creating shared civic narratives requires a rejection of the atomization that neoliberalism induces and shared public spaces that are not divided by class.

This is a great comment. I agree with Sandel (doesn't happen often). It might be my materialist leanings showing but the collapse of productive secure jobs has been disastrous for many countries. In the fourth video I'm going talk a bit about how to shore up democracy in the face of these problems.
