Now if you’re anything like me, it’s at around this time every four or so years when you once again find yourself wondering how it’s possible that the person who wins the vote to be the next US President can get less votes and still win.It doesn’t seem fair at all but of course there are many ways in which democracy can seem unfair.So just what is the fairset system?Elizabeth Maggie Penn is Professor of Political Science and Quantitative Theory & Methods at Emory University.

Drive Shane Bergen is a cranky, pathetic arsehole. Just imagine opening a science show with that bullshit. Learn self-awareness, or shut the fuck up.

In a recent podcast Jonathan was musing how a life would be meaningless unless he contributed towards the advancement of humanity. please reflect on what an insult this actually is to the vast majority of humanity who mostly live and die in obscurity.

I love the show, and normally agree with much of what you say, but Jonathan where's your sense of wonder at how awesome the universe is... I think you doubled up on the negative pills that morning 😉
