  1. This video podcast interview of Tom Murphy is pretty interesting. Its two parts and really they dont say much new to me in the first part. Its developing background and rapport etc... So I actually think its really important if you dont know who Tom Murphy is but if you know the Do The Math blog and such you could skip it and go to the second episode maybe. I haven't watched the second episode yet... My advice would be carve out time for both

  3. A Random Fix to Polarization

    Fixing polarization, therefore, must involve fixing the nomination process. To do this, we need to allow centrist voices to speak. That only happens if we bring down the artificial partition dividing the primary process, cleaving centrists into two non-interacting camps.

    Tom Murphy is playing on ideas I'd first encountered in this classic and excellent 2014 Aeon essay, "If you can’t choose wisely, choose randomly", addressing sortition and its uses, by Michael Schulson:
