Topics
Chris Willx：表达了对2024年美国总统大选结果的不确定性，认为拜登总统的健康状况和特朗普能否成功当选都存在疑问。 Eric Weinstein：深入分析了美国两党政治及国际关系，指出两党初选机制实际上是维护"基于规则的国际秩序"的工具，而特朗普的出现打破了这一机制，引发了国际秩序的潜在风险。他认为，美国民主制度面临悖论：民意与维护既有制度之间存在冲突，导致权力机构试图操纵选举结果以维护自身利益。他认为，当前国际秩序正走向瓦解，这与二战后建立的、如今已逐渐失效的体系有关。 Eric Weinstein：进一步阐述了美国民主制度的困境，认为民意与维护既有国际制度之间存在冲突，这使得权力机构试图通过操纵选举结果来维护自身利益和国际秩序。他认为，特朗普的出现打破了这种平衡，而当前的政治局势如同"自动驾驶模式"，公众对其决策过程缺乏了解，这在涉及核武器等关键问题时尤其危险。
