Work & society

Progress for whom, and on whose terms?

Explore questions about work, education, economic choice and the rules people live with. This is a home for opposing arguments about what should change and what is worth keeping.

A good motion makes its trade-offs explicit. Who benefits? Who carries the cost? What would change the panelists' minds? Those questions guide the proposed debates in this collection.

Community votes help inform the production shortlist. They are not representative opinion polls, election results or promises that an episode will be made.

A critical-history podcast. Host Eli Rowan and political theorist Hannah Arendt question an AI portrayal of Adolf Hitler strictly against the documented record: how the Weimar Republic voted, legislated and appointed its way into dictatorship, and which of those mechanisms still exist today. A cross-examination, not a platform: no propaganda, no reconstructed speeches, and the Holocaust is treated as established fact.
