Bob explains to X the alien what politicians are and do, how they are elected (if they are!) and why humans rely on them to make decisions. They also engage in a dissertation about how elections work and how humans decide who to choose to represent them! Want to know about how “governments” and “politicians” work in Noju, X’s planet? Then don't miss the third episode on Bob and X's deep dive into people's day-to-day habits.

X is an alien that has chosen to do its PhD on "Habits and Behaviors of Multicellular Neural Pre-Enlightenment Organisms'', which includes humans. Bob is helping X with its PhD by answering its questions about human behavior, social norms, and culture.
