In the Interview, it’s part two of a conversation with historian Jill Lepore about her latest book:If Then: How the Simulmatics Corporation Invented the Future. Jill discusses that with data mining and analysis there is greater potential for the demeaning of democratic processes, and why in 2021, accepting social media and twitter as a proxy for public opinion and polling could be risky. Lepore is an author, a New Yorker writer, and historian. She is also host of a podcast calledThe Last Archive from Pushkin.
The quadrennial choice Americans make was particularly fateful in 2016, and Akhil asserts that itself this was a bullet not dodged.

WallStreetBets is having a rough day. Its stocks are crashing. Champions from as recently as last week are selling out. More brokerage apps are turning off buying.
In this episode, NLW explores what it means for this set of assets and the larger shift in power from institutional to retail investors.
He argues, ultimately, that over the last year retail traders of the type led by WSB have established themselves as too powerful a force for the market to simply turn away from now.

In 1936, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin determined it was time for the Soviet Union to have another census.
They hadn’t conducted one since 1926 and he wanted some actual numbers to show the world the success of the Soviet system.
